Precision therapy with microbubbles

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 liquid jets generated by microbubbles penetrate the cell membrane enabling the drug uptake.

Revolutionizing Treatment: Microbubble Precision Therapy Takes Center Stage

The challenge of treating brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and brain tumors is a complex task, primarily due to the brain’s unique architecture and the protective barrier it possesses. This so-called blood-brain barrier plays a crucial role in maintaining central nervous system homeostasis by selectively allowing certain molecules like nutrients and oxygen to pass through while blocking out potentially harmful substances, includi…
