Researchers from Skoltech, ITMO University, and their colleagues have reported new findings about the behavior of microbubbles exposed to ultrasound. The data obtained by the team will enable the creation of more stable and safe microbubbles that could have therapeutic applications as vehicles for drug delivery to the brain and targeted activation of anti-cancer agents, and would make it possible to limit intense ultrasound exposure, avoiding its side effects. The study is published in Acta Biomaterialia.
