Drug Release from Phase-Changeable Nanodroplets Triggered by Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
Background: As one of the most effective triggers with high tissue-penetrating capability and non-invasive feature, ultrasound shows great potential for controlling the drug release and enhancing the chemotherapeutic efficacy. In this study, we report, for the first time, construction of a phase-changeable drug-delivery nanosystem with programmable low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) that c...
متن کاملMechanical release from paramagnetic liposomes triggered by low frequency ultrasound
Introduction Non, or minimally, invasive in vivo visualization of drug release triggered by externally-applied physical stimuli, like heating, light or ultrasound (US) is an emerging topic in molecular medicine. As far as US is concerned, most of the published investigations were performed using nanoor micro-bubbles in which the presence of the gas-filled core makes cavitation (and US detection...
متن کاملHigh-intensity focused ultrasound ablation enhancement in vivo via phase-shift nanodroplets compared to microbubbles
BACKGROUND During high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) surgical procedures, there is a need to rapidly ablate pathological tissue while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Current techniques are limited by relatively long procedure times and risks of off-target heating of healthy tissue. One possible solution is the use of microbubbles, which can improve the efficiency of thermal energy de...
متن کاملLow-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU)-induced acoustic droplet vaporization in phase-transition perfluoropentane nanodroplets modified by folate for ultrasound molecular imaging
The commonly used ultrasound (US) molecular probes, such as targeted microbubbles and perfluorocarbon emulsions, present a number of inherent problems including the conflict between US visualization and particle penetration. This study describes the successful fabrication of phase changeable folate-targeted perfluoropentane nanodroplets (termed FA-NDs), a novel US molecular probe for tumor mole...
متن کاملA Disposable Microfluidic Device for Controlled Drug Release from Thermal-Sensitive Liposomes by High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
The drug release triggered thermally by high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been considered a promising drug delivery strategy due to its localized energy and non-invasive characters. However, the mechanism underlying the HIFU-mediated drug delivery remains unclear due to its complexity at the cellular level. In this paper, micro-HIFU (MHIFU) generated by a microfluidic device is intro...
