Triggerable Oxygen Nanobubbles for Drug Delivery, Diagnosis, and Enhanced Survival

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have capitalized on the broad clinical utility of ultrasound. This technology is the first nanosized oxygen- and cargo-bearing bubbles that can be tuned to first image at a low intensity and selectively release cargo upon an ultrasound trigger at a higher intensity.

Technology Benefits
