Internalization of targeted microbubbles by endothelial cells and drug delivery by pores and tunnels
Ultrasound insonification of microbubbles can locally enhance drug delivery by increasing the cell membrane permeability. To aid development of a safe and effective therapeutic microbubble, more insight into the microbubble-cell interaction is needed. In

Acoustic trapping of microbubbles in complex environments and controlled payload release
Significance Remote positioning and activation of drug-loaded microparticles in vivo are a central pursuit of nanomedicine. Optical, magnetic, and acoustic fields have been used to position and sort microparticles in vitro, but the translation in vivo ...

Laser-Controlled Propulsion of a Microbubble Rolling on a Carbon Nanocoil Rail [PDF]
Controllably propelling microbubbles in microchannels within a microfluidic chip is of great scientific significance yet remains challenging. In this work, we employ carbon nanocoils (CNCs) as a laser-energized rail for propelling microbubbles to the ...

The Impact of Lipid Handling and Phase Distribution on the Acoustic Behavior of Microbubbles
Phospholipid-coated microbubbles are ultrasound contrast agents that can be employed for ultrasound molecular imaging and drug delivery. For safe and effective implementation, microbubbles must respond uniformly and predictably to ultrasound.

Microbubbles for human diagnosis and therapy.
Microbubbles (MBs) were observed for the first time in vivo as a curious consequence of quick saline injection during ultrasound (US) imaging of the aortic root, more than 50 years ago.

Targeted Microbubbles for Drug, Gene, and Cell Delivery in Therapy and Immunotherapy
Microbubbles are 1–10 μm diameter gas-filled acoustically-active particles, typically stabilized by a phospholipid monolayer shell. Microbubbles can be engineered through bioconjugation of a ligand, drug and/or cell.
