Cancer researchers are a step closer to finding a cure for advanced prostate cancer after effectively combining an anti-cancer drug with a viral gene therapy in vivo using novel ultrasound-targeted ...
Avvio Medical, a clinical-stage medical device company developing Microbubble SonoLithotripsy for the treatment of ureteral stones, reports today on its successful conference at the 2026 American ...
The USphere Series of microbubble contrast agents has been carefully designed for preclinical imaging, operating efficiently at frequencies ranging from 1 to 40 MHz. Their small size distribution (1.1 ...
Researchers at UT Southwestern have developed a first-of-its-kind ultrasound-guided cancer immunotherapy platform that delivers immune-stimulating agents to cells for the development of systemic ...

In most cases, the targeted microbubble contrast agents (MCAs) are fitted with a high-affinity targeting ligand. After the MCAs are adhered to the target, they begin to improve the acoustic signal ...
Macrophages, a type of white blood cell, defend the body by engulfing and digesting foreign particles, such as bacteria, viruses, and dead cells. The immune cells also tend to accumulate in solid ...
A new technology now under development by researchers at the University of Nebraska and the University of Colorado Boulder could result in the creation of a so-called “third lung” for severely injured ...
Injecting trillions of microscopic bubbles into severely injured people may help keep them alive until arrival at a hospital for treatment. The technique, which essentially creates a “third lung,” ...
