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) ...

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 ...

Gene therapy has great promise for treating genetic diseases, and even for more common diseases such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Over the past decade, the gene-editing technology ...

A watched pot never boils, goes the old saying, but many of us have at least kept an eye on the pot, waiting for the bubbling to start. It's satisfying to finally see the rolling boil, behind which ...

The AEROLITH study demonstrated that in the ureteral stone subgroup, a key clinical population, efficacy was comparable between URS-LL with microbubbles and URS-LL alone. However, the use of ...

The USphere Series of microbubble contrast agents has been carefully designed for preclinical imaging, operating efficiently at frequencies ranging from 1 to 40 MHz. Their small size distribution (1.1 ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern have developed a first-of-its-kind ultrasound-guided cancer immunotherapy platform that delivers immune-stimulating agents to cells for the development of systemic ...

A new technology now under development by researchers at the University of Nebraska and the University of Colorado Boulder could result in the creation of a so-called “third lung” for severely injured ...
