While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology has not been capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ...

Imagine a super-charged immune cell that can launch a focused attack on stubborn solid tumors—a smart fighter that destroys cancer cells for days without tiring. USC biomedical engineers have made ...

BENGALURU: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have found that low-frequency ultrasound can selectively kill oral cancer cells while leaving healthy cells largely unharmed, raising ...

The distribution of body fat, and particularly fat accumulated around the abdomen, is a determining factor in the risk of developing metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. However, not all abdominal ...

Piezoelectric nanoparticles deployed inside immune cells and stimulated remotely by ultrasound can trigger the body's disease-fighting response, according to an interdisciplinary team of Boston ...

Engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a technique that uses microbubbles and ultrasound to help relatively large cancer drugs enter tumor cells and cause them to self-destruct. Dubbed ...

Oral cancer cells show vulnerability to low-frequency ultrasound, sparing healthy cells Reduced Tropomyosin 2.1 levels cause oral cancer cells' sensitivity to mechanical stimulation Ultrasound induces ...

Ultrasound is one of the most widely used imaging techniques in medicine, but up until recently it hardly played a role in imaging the tiniest structures of our bodies such as cells. “Clinical ...
