A team of researchers from Caltech and the University of Southern California has developed a microrobot for drug delivery within the body. According to its developers, the enzyme-powered microbubble ...

Researchers have developed a bubble microrobot capable of being guided around the tiny complex blood vessels of the brain using ultrasound. Successfully tested in mice, the ‘microvehicle’ holds ...

Biotechnology company Bracco Imaging announced its expansion into the cell-therapy manufacturing space, establishing a new application for its microbubble technology, which is designed to offer a bead ...

A clinical study shows that preoperative dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help predict how microbubbles will distribute in the human brain. This is ...

Bracco’s cell selection and activation microbubble technology is designed to support both positive- and negative-selection strategies.

Microrobots have long promised precision drug delivery inside the human body, but making them ...

In most cases, the targeted microbubble contrast agents (MCAs) are fitted with a high-affinity targeting ligand. After the MCAs are adhered to the target, they begin to improve the acoustic signal ...

Using "microbubbles" and ultrasound can mean more targeted breast biopsies for patients with early breast cancer, helping to determine treatment and possibly saving those patients from undergoing a ...

Injecting trillions of microscopic bubbles into severely injured people may help keep them alive until arrival at a hospital for treatment. The technique, which essentially creates a “third lung,” ...
