2D Schematic Diagram of Forces on Microbubbles in the Tube Stimulated by Ultrasound (IMAGE)

The lack of a clinically viable method to track and direct cancer drugs to tumors is a big problem for targeted therapeutics. But a new ultrasonic method proposed by biomedical engineers from Qifa Zhou's team at the University of Southern California could enable acoustic control and real-time tracking of drug release within the body. The researchers report on their manipulation of ultrasonic waves to pinpoint drug delivery in Applied Physics Letters. 2D schematic diagram of forces on microbubbles in the tube stimulated by ultrasound.
