In the continuous search for cancer therapies with a higher therapeutic window, localized
temperature-induced drug delivery may offer a minimal invasive treatment option. Here, a …

This review focuses on phase‐shift perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions whose action depends
on an ultrasound‐triggered phase shift from a liquid to gas state. For drug‐loaded …

The merits of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) were already known in the 1960s. It was,
however, not until the 1990s that UCAs were clinically approved and marketed. In these …

Microbubble ultrasound contrast agents are being developed as image-guided gene
carriers for targeted delivery in vivo. In this study, novel polyplex-microbubbles were …

Within the last decade, nanotechnology has had a major impact on preclinical development
in medicine, shaping the emerging scientific field of nanomedicine. Diverse nanomaterial …

Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is a noninvasive multimodality technique that allows high-
resolution imaging in mice. It is affordable, widely available, and portable. When it is coupled …

Self-assembly of three molecular components results in a delivery platform, the release rate
of which can be tuned after its production. A fluorophore-conjugated gelator can be …

Monodisperse poly (dl-lactic acid)(PLA) particles of diameters between 11 and 121 μm were
fabricated in flow focusing glass microcapillary devices by evaporation of dichloromethane …

Microbubbles (MBs) with the ability of enhancing ultrasound image contrast and delivering
drugs are widely used in medical applications. By combining microbubbles and …

Polymeric micelles (PMs) have gained more progress as a carrier system with the quick
development of biological and nanoparticle techniques. In particular, PMs with smart …
