Therapeutic ultrasound strategies that harness the mechanical activity of cavitation nuclei for
beneficial tissue bio-effects are actively under development. The mechanical oscillations of …

Microbubble ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) were recently approved by the Food and
Drug administration for non-cardiac imaging. The physical principles of UCAs, methods of …

After the protocol-related indecisive clinical trial of Oxygent, a perfluorooctylbromide/
phospholipid nanoemulsion, in cardiac surgery, that often unduly assigned the observed …

Poor half-life, short circulation, systemic toxicity, insufficient accumulation, and ultimately
weak therapeutic response are the most important obstacles in the conventional …

The cavitation-mediated bioeffects are primarily associated with the dynamic behaviors of
bubbles in viscoelastic tissues, which involves complex interactions of cavitation bubbles …

Photothermal therapy (PTT) utilizes photothermal conversion reagents to generate heat
energy from absorbed light to effectively treat various malignant diseases. This approach …

Background During high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) surgical procedures, there is a
need to rapidly ablate pathological tissue while minimizing damage to healthy tissue …

Focused ultrasound with nanodroplets could facilitate localized drug delivery after
vaporization with potentially improved in vivo stability, drug payload, and minimal …

This review focuses on different materials and contrast agents that sensitize imaging and
therapy with Focused Ultrasound (FUS). At high intensities, FUS is capable of selectively …

The development of combinational anti-tumor therapy is of great value. Here, the thermal-
sensitive and hepatic tumor cell targeting peptide-A54 modified polymer, A54-poly (ethylene …
