Cancer treatment has undergone a revolution in recent years, with many innovative therapies coming onto the market. This is particularly true for cancer therapies that use a person’s immune system to ...

Cardiovascular researcher Xiaowei Wang combines nanotechnology, ultrasound molecular imaging, and mRNA delivery systems for ...

For years, researchers and clinicians have been trying to find a way to rapidly deliver oxygen to patients when traditional means of oxygenation are difficult or ineffective during critical moments of ...

Microbubbles in the tap water you just poured into a plastic glass are strong enough to create tiny abrasions on the inner layer of the plastic—quietly adding to our growing microplastic problem.

Tiny bubbles can solve large problems. Microbubbles—around 1-50 micrometers in diameter—have widespread applications. They're used for drug delivery, membrane cleaning, biofilm control, and water ...

A new technique that uses gas-filled microbubbles for focusing light inside tissue could one day provide doctors with a minimally invasive way of destroying tumors with lasers, and lead to improved ...

"The microbubbles can re-activate the cells that have been turned off inside the tumor," says the paper's lead author, Ph.D. candidate Ana Baez. "This process will help them release the proteins that ...

Bursting oxygen-filled microbubbles in breast cancer makes tumors three times more sensitive to radiation therapy in preliminary tests with animal models of the disease Injecting breast cancer with ...

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego are developing nonsurgical methods for identifying critical lymph nodes to help doctors determine courses of treatment for breast cancer patients ...

Plastic fragments smaller than a grain of rice are everywhere in modern wastewater, washed in from cosmetics, clothing, food packaging, and urban runoff. Treatment plants catch much of that material, ...

New research has shown how microbubbles carrying powerful cancer drugs can be guided to the site of a tumor using antibodies. Microbubbles are small manufactured spheres half the size of a red blood ...

Say there's a bomb attack on a military base. A few of the soldiers suffer concussions and other brain injuries. Could some of the injuries be caused by tiny bubbles that form and collapse within the ...
