The rapidly developing field of contrast-enhanced ultrasound relies on the detection of gas-filled, encapsulated microbubbles that produce a unique signature in an acoustic field. These ...

Microbubbles are small, gas-filled bubbles, typically between 0.5µm and 10µm in diameter, that are widely used as contrast agents in medical imaging and as carriers for targeted drug delivery.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

London: The ultrasound contrast agents (microbubbles) market is driven by their role in enhancing diagnostic capabilities and revolutionising treatment methods. The demand for microbubbles will ...

Motivated to better understand bubble behavior, a team of researchers at Kyoto University has developed an experimental setup to precisely adjust the distance between microbubbles, employing laser ...

Histotripsy uses focused soundwaves to create microbubbles within a tumour. Prudential Hong Kong has begun accepting ...

One solution that several researchers are working on is to inject microbubbles into the blood and treat the brain with focused ultrasound. Ultrasound causes the bubbles in the blood vessels of the ...
