Researchers have developed a bubble microrobot capable of being guided around the tiny complex blood vessels of the brain using ultrasound. Successfully tested in mice, the ‘microvehicle’ holds ...

While it might sound like a weapon of oceanic destruction in the hands of Aquaman’s arch enemies, the new “stingraybot” from a team at ETH Zurich (the Federal Institute of Technology of Switzerland) ...

Cancer researchers are a step closer to finding a cure for advanced prostate cancer after effectively combining an anti-cancer drug with a viral gene therapy in vivo using novel ultrasound-targeted ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern have developed a first-of-its-kind ultrasound-guided cancer immunotherapy platform that delivers immune-stimulating agents to cells for the development of systemic ...

In most cases, the targeted microbubble contrast agents (MCAs) are fitted with a high-affinity targeting ligand. After the MCAs are adhered to the target, they begin to improve the acoustic signal ...

A new technology now under development by researchers at the University of Nebraska and the University of Colorado Boulder could result in the creation of a so-called “third lung” for severely injured ...

Tumour vasculature is an important component of tumour growth and survival. Recent evidence indicates tumour vasculature also has an important role in tumour radiation response. In this study, we ...

Using "microbubbles" and ultrasound can mean more targeted breast biopsies for patients with early breast cancer, helping to determine treatment and possibly saving those patients from undergoing a ...

Injecting trillions of microscopic bubbles into severely injured people may help keep them alive until arrival at a hospital for treatment. The technique, which essentially creates a “third lung,” ...

ETH Zurich researchers have investigated how tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualized how tiny liquid jets ...
