Ultrasound-Responsive Carriers for Therapeutic Applications

Chandan, Rajeet, Mehta, Sourabh, Banerjee, Rinti·2020·ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering

Abstract

Ultrasound (US)-responsive carriers have emerged as promising theranostic candidates because of their ability to enhance US-contrast, promote image-guided drug delivery, cause on-demand pulsatile release of drugs in response to ultrasound stimuli, as well as to enhance the permeability of physiological barriers such as the stratum corneum, the vascular endothelium, and the blood-brain barrier (BBB). US-responsive carriers include microbubbles MBs, liposomes, droplets, hydrogels, and nanobubble-nanoparticle complexes and have been explored for cavitation-mediated US-responsive drug delivery. Recently, a transient increase in the permeability of the BBB by microbubble (MB)-assisted low-frequency US has shown promise in enhancing the delivery of therapeutic agents in the case of neurological disorders. Further, the periodic mechanical stimulus generated by US-responsive MBs have also been explored in tissue engineering and has directly influenced the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into cartilage. This Review discusses the various types of US-responsive carriers and explores their emerging roles in therapeutics ranging from drug delivery to tissue engineering.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
