Ultrasound is extensively used in medical imaging, being safe and inexpensive and
operating in real time. Its scope of applications has been widely broadened by the use of …

In the past two decades, research has underlined the potential of ultrasound and
microbubbles to enhance drug delivery. However, there is less consensus on the …

Ultrasound (US) medical technology is widely used due to its advantages of safety, speed,
and low cost. With the rapid development of biomedical nanotechnology …

Microbubble ultrasound contrast agents have now been in use for several decades and their
safety and efficacy in a wide range of diagnostic applications have been well established …

Because of their size (1–10 μm), microbubble-based drug delivery agents suffer from
confinement to the vasculature, limiting tumor penetration and potentially reducing the drug …

Bubbles are always encountered for gas–liquid two-phase flow in microchannels, and have
potential applications in chemical engineering, polymer engineering, food engineering, and …

We provide a comprehensive and systematic description of the diverse microbubble
generation methods recently developed to satisfy emerging technological, pharmaceutical …

Nanobubbles (NBs) have recently garnered widespread attention for their potential use as
dual diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Similar to their micron-sized relatives …

We present a theoretical analysis and experimental demonstration of particle trapping and
manipulation around optothermally generated bubbles. We show that a particle located …

Most cancer patients receive chemotherapy at some stage of their treatment which makes
improving the efficacy of cytotoxic drugs an ongoing and important goal. Despite large …
