Ultrasound-Responsive Materials for Drug/Gene Delivery

Blog Article

Ultrasound is one of the most commonly used methods in the diagnosis and therapy of diseases due to its safety, deep penetration into tissue, and non-invasive nature.In the drug/gene delivery systems, ultrasound shows many advantages in terms of site-specific delivery Idler Roller and spatial release control of drugs/genes and attracts increasing attention.Microbubbles are the most well-known ultrasound-responsive delivery materials.Recently, nanobubbles, droplets, micelles, and nanoliposomes have been developed as novel carriers in this field.

Herein, Invincible we review advances of novel ultrasound-responsive materials (nanobubbles, droplets, micelles and nanoliposomes) and discuss the challenges of ultrasound-responsive materials in delivery systems to boost the development of ultrasound-responsive materials as delivery carriers.
