Researchers have investigated how microbubbles tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets ...

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 ...

Ultrasound images showing oxygen-loaded microbubbles entering the brain of a mouse. Left: contrast-mode image showing microbubbles entering the brain at the periphery (arrows). Right: greyscale image ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have successfully converted microbubbles into nanoparticles that stay trapped in tumours to potentially deliver targeted, therapeutic payloads. The discovery, ...
