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 ...

Focused ultrasound combined with microbubbles is increasingly being used to safely and reversibly open the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for the treatment of brain tumors and neurodegenerative disorders.

Get enough bacteria in one place and they like to settle down into longer-term colonies, building sticky biofilms that protect them from our best cleaning efforts. But now, researchers from the ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The toxicity concerns surrounding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are highly relevant for two reasons: Firstly, as more and more products containing CNTs come to market, there is a chance ...

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 ...

Stiff microbial films often coat medical devices, household items and infrastructure such as the inside of water supply pipes, and can lead to dangerous infections. Researchers have developed a system ...

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 ...

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,” ...
