Biomedical acoustics is rapidly evolving from a diagnostic modality into a therapeutic tool,
and acoustic cavitation is often the common denominator in a wide range of new therapeutic …

The past several decades have witnessed great progress in “smart drug delivery”, an
advance technology that can deliver genes or drugs into specific locations of patients' body …

Sonoporation, or the use of ultrasound in the presence of cavitation nuclei to induce plasma
membrane perforation, is well considered as an emerging physical approach to facilitate the …

The in vivo cavitation response associated with blood–brain barrier (BBB) opening as
induced by transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) in conjunction with microbubbles was …

Ultrasound is an important local stimulus for triggering drug release at the target tissue.
Ultrasound-responsive drug delivery systems (URDDS) have become an important research …

Phase-shift nanoemulsions have the potential to nucleate bubbles and enhance high-
intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) cancer therapy. This emulsion consists of albumin …

Overexposure to antibiotics originating in wastewater has profound environmental and
health implications. Conventional treatment methods are not fully effective in removing …

High-intensity ultrasound induces emulsification and cross-linking of protein molecules in
aqueous medium. The stability and the functionality of the resultant protein-coated …

Cancer treatment by extracorporeal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is constrained
by the time required to ablate clinically relevant tumour volumes. Although cavitation may be …

Introduction: Ultrasound enhancement of thrombolysis (sonothrombolysis) is further
potentiated by administration of acoustically active microbubbles, which may be developed …
