Researchers from Imperial College Report on Findings in Ultrasound Technology
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, November 3rd, 2011
2011 NOV 3 -- A new study, "Influence of needle gauge on in vivo ultrasound and microbubble-mediated gene transfection," is now available. "Ultrasound and microbubble-mediated gene transfection are potential tools for safe, site-selective gene therapy. However, preclinical trials have demonstrated a low transfection efficiency that has hindered the progression of the technique to clinical application," scientists in London, United Kingdom report.
"In this paper it is shown that simple changes to the method of intravenous injection can lead to an increase in transfection efficiency when using 6-MHz diagnostic ultrasound and the ultrasound contrast agent,...
