説明
Recent studies have shown that ultrasound energy could be applied for targeting or controlling drug release. This new concept of therapeutic ultrasound combined with drugs has induced a great amount of interest in various medical fields. In this paper, several experimental systems are cited in which ultrasound is being utilized to evaluate new application of this modality. The mechanisms of ultrasound-mediated drug delivery are discussed in addition to the review of current advances in the use of ultrasound in systems involving research in cancer therapy, gene therapy, microbubbles and other drug delivery in vitro and in vivo experiments.
