The use of microbubbles to target drug delivery

Abstract Ultrasound-mediated microbubbles destruction has been proposed as an innovative method for noninvasive delivering of drugs and genes to different tissues.Microbubbles are used to carry a drug or gene until a specific area of interest is reached, and then ultrasound is used to OTHER burst the microbubbles, causing site-specific delivery of
