Rice University researchers tested the safety and feasibility of gene delivery to multiple brain regions using a noninvasive, ultrasound-based technique in rodents, and their findings suggest that the ...

A heat-sensitive liposomal preparation loaded with doxorubicin (multiple brands) was able to deliver its contents directly to liver lesions when the temperature was raised above 39.5 °C by focused ...

The brain is a stronghold, the central command center for the body, protected by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This network of blood vessels and tissues acts as a biological gatekeeper, a selective ...

In a study involving four human patients with recurrent glioblastoma, Northwestern Medicine scientists for the first time demonstrated the use of ultrasound technology to penetrate the blood-brain ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in Alzheimer’s therapy. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of ...

Researchers used ultrasound to enable the delivery of a novel immunotherapy combination therapy for glioblastoma across the blood-brain barrier. The corresponding study was published in Nature ...

Alzheimer's disease poses a significant therapeutic challenge due to the restrictive nature of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) hindering the delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain tissue. To ...

New ultrasound drug delivery system found to be highly effective against bacterial biofilms Scientists have developed a new drug delivery system using ultrasound-activated nanoparticles to break ...

Researchers led by Costas Arvanitis at Georgia Tech have developed a method using microbubbles and ultrasound to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier (BBB), enhancing drug delivery to the brain ...
