Ultrasound-based approach to delivering potent drugs into cancer cells shows promise in benchtop experiments
Engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a technique that uses microbubbles and ultrasound to help relatively large cancer drugs enter tumor cells and cause them to self-destruct. Dubbed "Sonoporation-assisted Precise Intracellular Nanodelivery"—or SonoPIN for short—the technology caused 50% of targeted cancer cells in a benchtop experiment to self-destruct, while leaving 99% of non-targeted cells healthy. The results show promise for prec…
A new technique based on microbubbles and ultrasounds has given promising results, in laboratory tests, to introduce cancer drugs into tumor cells and cause their self-destruction. Duke University leads SonoPIN development for cancer Named Nano precise intracellular transport assisted by sonopporation (SonoPIN), the technology caused the self-destruction of 50% of target cancer cells in laboratory experiments, while 99% of the non-target cells r…
