A team of researchers from Caltech and the University of Southern California has developed a microrobot for drug delivery within the body. According to its developers, the enzyme-powered microbubble ...

ETH Zurich researchers have investigated how tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualized how tiny liquid jets ...

Biotechnology company Bracco Imaging announced its expansion into the cell-therapy manufacturing space, establishing a new application for its microbubble technology, which is designed to offer a bead ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The toxicity concerns surrounding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are highly relevant for two reasons: Firstly, as more and more products containing CNTs come to market, there is a chance ...

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 ...

Bracco’s cell selection and activation microbubble technology is designed to support both positive- and negative-selection strategies.
