Medicine on demand? Yes, it’s possible now, thanks to ultrasound.
The study, published in “Ultrasonics” by Science Direct (+ info: click here), stems from a new collaboration between the BioRobotics Institute of Scuola Sant’Anna and BAC Technology. The drug’s liquid core “can vaporize when a pressure wave is applied, such as that generated by ultrasound, thus enabling a targeted and controlled release of the transported drug.”
Andrea Cafarelli, Researcher from the BioRobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Pisa – IT) on non-invasive ultrasound stimulation technologies, highlights how this represents “[…] a promising step towards therapies that can be activated exactly when and where they are needed, improving treatment safety and effectiveness. A pathway towards next-generation precision therapies, with applications ranging from tissue repair to cancer treatment and chronotherapy.”
