Engineers at Duke University have introduced a technique known as Sonoporation-assisted Precise Intracellular Na, which leverages ultrasound and microbubbles to facilitate drug entry into cancer cells.
This approach aims to overcome the challenges associated with delivering larger molecules that typically struggle to penetrate cellular membranes.
The technique has shown promise in benchtop experiments, suggesting potential implications for enhancing the effectiveness of cancer therapies.
