Apart from its clinical use in imaging, ultrasound has been thoroughly investigated as a tool
to enhance drug delivery in a wide variety of applications. Therapeutic ultrasound, as such …

Drug delivery for tumor theranostics involves the extensive use of the enhanced permeability
and retention (EPR) effect. Previously, various types of nanomedicines have been …

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 …

Nanoparticles (NPs) for delivering chemotherapeutic drugs are now in clinical trials, and
cellular uptake of NPs plays an important role in determining the drug delivery efficiency …

Sonoporation mediated by microbubbles has being extensively studied as a promising
technique to facilitate gene/drug delivery to cells. Previous studies mainly explored the …

Recently, emerging evidence has demonstrated that cavitation actually creates important
bidirectional channels on biological barriers for both intratumoral drug delivery and …

Ultrasound is one of the most commonly used methods in the diagnosis and therapy of
diseases due to its safety, deep penetration into tissue, and non-invasive nature. In the …

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer and it is treated with surgical intervention,
radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these regimens. Despite chemotherapy's …

Sonoporation is the process of transient pore formation in the cell membrane triggered by
ultrasound (US). Numerous studies have provided us with firm evidence that sonoporation …
