Sonoporation Using Nanoparticle-Loaded Microbubbles Increases Cellular Uptake of Nanoparticles Compared to Co-Incubation of Nanoparticles and Microbubbles

Sonoporation Using Nanoparticle-Loaded Microbubbles Increases Cellular Uptake of Nanoparticles Compared to Co-Incubation of Nanoparticles and Microbubbles

Therapeutic agents can benefit from encapsulation in nanoparticles, due to improved pharmacokinetics and biodistribution, protection from degradation, increased cellular uptake and sustained release. Microbubbles in combination with ultrasound have been shown to improve the delivery of nanoparticles...
