Due to the intrinsic non-invasive nature, cost-effectiveness, high safety, and real-time
capabilities, besides diagnostic imaging, ultrasound as a typical mechanical wave has been …

Microbubbles (MBs) were observed for the first time in vivo as a curious consequence of
quick saline injection during ultrasound (US) imaging of the aortic root, more than 50 years …

Microbubbles with diagnostic ultrasound have had a long history of use in the medical field.
In recent years, the therapeutic application of the combination of microbubbles and …

Abstract The properties of (1, 3)-β-glucans (ie, callose) remain largely unknown despite their
importance in plant development and defence. Here we use mixtures of (1, 3)-β-glucan and …

We introduce a model that describes spherical oscillations of encapsulated microbubbles in
an unbounded surrounding fluid. A Rayleigh–Plesset-like equation is derived by coupling …

Micron-sized lipid-stabilised bubbles of heavy gas have been utilised as contrast agents for
diagnostic ultrasound (US) imaging for many years. Typically bubbles between 1 and 8 μm …

Natural oil bodies (OBs) from plant organs represent an important category of functional
ingredients and materials in a variety of industrial sectors. Their applications are closely …

Microbubbles interact with ultrasound in various ways to enable their applications in
ultrasound imaging and diagnosis. To generate high contrast and maximize therapeutic …

Ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) are used routinely in the clinic to enhance contrast in
ultrasonography. More recently, UCAs have been functionalised by conjugating ligands to …

Abstract Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) probes were successfully functionalized with two
types of nanocellulose, namely 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxylradical (TEMPO) …
