Cavitation Bubbles Mediated Molecular Delivery During Sonoporation

Molecular delivery using ultrasound (US) and nano/microbubbles (NBs), i.e., sonoporation, has applications in gene therapy and anticancer drug delivery. When NBs are destructed by ultrasound, the surrounding cells are exposed to mechanical impulsive forces generated by collapse of either the NBs or...
