Development of Ultrasound Microbubbles and Phase Shift Microbubbles in Theranostics

WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Microbubbles have been originally designed for diagnostic applications. Over the years, microbubbles and phase shift microbubbles have been further developed for therapeutic indications. ABSTRACT Ultrasound is widely used for diagnostic imaging and therapy.

Targeting the microbiota‐miRNA‐protease axis: A new therapeutic avenue in melanoma

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 4043-4063, July 2026.
Modulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover is central to melanoma progression and metastasis, driven largely by ECM proteases. This review highlights the epigenetic regulation of ECM proteases by microRNAs and their roles in melanoma growth, invasion, and immune modulation.

A computational tool for evaluating HIFU safety.

Annali dell'Istituto superiore di sanita, 2017
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive treatment for therapeutic applications, in particular the treatment of either benign or malignant tumor lesions. HIFU treatment is based on the power of a focused ultrasound beam to locally heat biological tissues over a necrotic level with minimal impact on the surrounding tissues.

Nonsurgical Aesthetic Improvement of the Neck: A Multimodal, Experience‐Based Algorithmic Approach

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Aesthetic aging of the neck is usually multifactorial, reflecting variable contributions from submental and cervical adiposity, dermal and septal laxity, platysmal activity, skeletal deficiency, and loss of lower‐face support. Isolated nonsurgical treatment may therefore underperform when the dominant anatomical driver is not ...

HIFU for Palliative Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer

, 2016
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest malignancies, with only a 6 % 5-year survival rate and over 50 % of patients being diagnosed at the advanced stage. Current therapies are ineffective, and the treatment of patients with advanced disease is palliative.

Delivering Proteins and Enzymes to Solid Tumors Through the Development of Stimuli‐Responsive Nanocarriers

ChemNanoMat, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2026.
Stimuli‐responsive strategies to achieve controlled release of protein‐based therapeutic agents into solid tumors. Proteins, enzymes, and peptides have long been recognized as valuable therapeutic agents, particularly in oncology. However, their complex chemical structures render them more sensitive than smaller chemotherapeutic drugs.

Comparison of the SMI Technique and CEUS for the Assessment of Microvasculature in Leiomyosarcoma and Its Clinical Value for Application

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1079-1087, June 2026.
SMI and CEUS can clearly reflect the microvascular situation in fibroids and effectively guide the clinical treatment of patients with uterine fibroids, but the effect of SMI is better than that of CEUS in guiding the treatment of patients, which can provide a reference for the selection of clinical treatment programs.

A robotic approach to HIFU based neurosurgery [PDF]

, 1998
The use of robotics in surgical interventions not only has the potential for minimally invasive surgical procedures but can improve performance and result in reduced operative time and post-operative trauma/recovery. This paper describes the concept of a robotic based High Intensity Focused Ultrasound system as a neuro-surgical tool for the destruction

Investigation of HIFU-induced anti-tumor immunity in a murine tumor model

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2007
Background High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an emerging non-invasive treatment modality for localized treatment of cancers. While current clinical strategies employ HIFU exclusively for thermal ablation of the target sites, biological ...
