Over-Pressure Suppresses Ultrasonic-Induced Drug Uptake

Over-Pressure Suppresses Ultrasonic-Induced Drug Uptake

Ultrasound (US) is used to enhance and target delivery of drugs and genes to cancer tissues. The present study further examines the role of acoustic cavitation in US-induced permeabilization of cell membranes and subsequent drug or gene uptake by the cell. Rat colon cancer cells were exposed to ultr...
