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 …

Phase-change contrast agents (PCCAs) for ultrasound-based applications have resulted in
novel ways of approaching diagnostic and therapeutic techniques beyond what is possible …

Stimuli-responsive drug release and controlled delivery play crucial roles in enhancing the
therapeutic efficacy and lowering over-dosage induced side effects. In this paper, we report …

Currently available microbubbles used for ultrasound imaging and therapeutics are limited
to intravascular space due to their size distribution in the micron range. Phase-change …

Acoustically sensitive emulsion droplets composed of a liquid perfluorocarbon have the
potential to be a highly efficient system for local drug delivery, embolotherapy, or for tumor …

The non-specific distribution, non-selectivity towards cancerous cells, and adverse off-target
side effects of anticancer drugs and other therapeutic molecules lead to their inferior clinical …

Tumor therapy requires multi-functional treatment strategies with specific targeting of
therapeutics to reduce general toxicity and increase efficacy. In this study we fabricated and …

Currently, surgical operations, followed by systemic drug delivery, are the prevailing
treatment modality for most diseases, including cancers and trauma-based injuries …

A new formulation of volatile nanodroplets stabilized by a protein and polymer coating and
loaded with magnetic nanoparticles is developed. The droplets show enhanced stability 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 …
