Precision therapy with microbubbles Date: February 21, 2025 Source: ETH Zurich Summary: Researchers have investigated how microbubbles tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted ...

ETH Zurich researchers show how under ultrasound, microbubbles gas-filled bubbles generate liquid jets that penetrate cell membrane like tiny pinpricks. The dynamics of jets is governed by a ...

Scientists have found a way to use tiny bubbles and ultrasound to deliver medicine directly into cells, which could help ...

For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets liquid jets generated by microbubbles penetrate the cell membrane, enabling the drug uptake. The targeted treatment of brain ...

Microbubbles that react to ultrasound are a particularly promising method for this sort of therapy. These microbubbles are smaller than a red blood cell, filled with gas and have consist of a ...

The aim is to overcome the blood-brain barrier which normally only allows certain nutrients and oxygen to pass through. Microbubbles that react to ultrasound are a particularly promising method for ...

In pre-clinical testing, Kheir and Peng injected specifically designed pH-sensitive microbubbles that delivered precise amounts of oxygen and significantly improved survival by preventing ...

SonoVascular, Inc., a clinical stage medical device company focused on bringing to market its SonoThrombectomy™ System for venous thromboembolism (VTE), a novel treatment solution intended to provide ...
