The targeted treatment of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or brain tumours is challenging because the brain is a particularly sensitive organ that is well protected. That’s why ...

While it might sound like a weapon of oceanic destruction in the hands of Aquaman’s arch enemies, the new “stingraybot” from a team at ETH Zurich (the Federal Institute of Technology of Switzerland) ...

Researchers have developed an ultrasound-guided cancer immunotherapy platform that generates systemic antitumor immunity and improves the therapeutic efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade.

Scientists at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center report the development of an ultrasound-guided cancer immunotherapy platform that generates systemic antitumor immunity and improves the ...

The brain is a rather important organ, and as such, nature has gone to great lengths to protect it. The skull provides physical protection against knocks and bumps, but there’s a lesser-known defense ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed artificial muscles that contain microbubbles and can be controlled with ultrasound. In the future, these muscles could be deployed in technical and medical ...

Researchers have designed process that uses ultrasound to modify the behavior of cancer-fighting T cells by increasing their cell permeability. They targeted freshly isolated human immune cells with ...

The impassable blood-brain barrier prevents microorganisms from entering our brain, however it also blocks medicines that could help treat Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases ...

Among the more interesting ways scientists hope to tackle the roots of Alzheimer's disease is by using microbubbles to prise open the blood brain barrier and sneak in drugs that bust apart toxic ...

A team led by researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine has demonstrated a way to diagnose cancer without resorting to surgery, raising the possibility of far fewer biopsies. For ...

As the first-of-its-kind platform, the Microbubble-assisted UltraSound-guided Immunotherapy of Cancer (MUSIC) approach employs nanocomplexes combined with microbubbles to effectively deliver cyclic ...
