Chemotherapy efficiency increase via shock wave interaction with biological membranes: a molecular dynamics study

Application of ultrasound to biological tissues has been identified as a promising cancer treatment technique relying on temporal enhancement of biological membrane permeability via shock wave impact. In the present study, the effects of ultrasonic waves on a 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-phosphatidylcholine b...
