Formulation and characterisation of drug-loaded antibubbles for image-guided and ultrasound-triggered drug delivery
Kotopoulis, Spiros; Lam, Christina; Haugse, Ragnhild; Snipstad, Sofie; Murvold, Elsa Thodesen; Jouleh, Tæraneh; Berg, Sigrid; Hansen, Rune; Popa, Mihaela-Lucia; Mccormack, Emmet Matin; Gilja, Odd Helge; Poortinga, Albert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The aim of this study was to develop high load-capacity antibubbles that can be visualized using diagnostic ultrasound and the encapsulated drug can be released and delivered using clinically translatable ultrasound. The ... -
Real-time intravital multiphoton microscopy to visualize focused ultrasound and microbubble treatments to increase blood-brain barrier permeability
Poon, Charissa; Mühlenpfordt, Melina; Olsman, Marieke; Kotopoulis, Spiros; Davies, Catharina de Lange; Hynynen, Kullervo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a key challenge for the successful delivery of drugs to the brain. Ultrasound exposure in the presence of microbubbles has emerged as an effective method to transiently and locally increase ... -
Ultrafast Microscopy Imaging of Acoustic Cluster Therapy Bubbles: Activation and Oscillation
van Wamel, Annemieke; Mühlenpfordt, Melina; Hansen, Rune; Healey, Andrew; Villanueva, Flordeliza S.; Kotopoulis, Spiros; Davies, Catharina de Lange; Chen, Xucai (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Acoustic Cluster Therapy (ACT®) is a platform for improving drug delivery and has had promising pre-clinical results. A clinical trial is ongoing. ACT® is based on microclusters of microbubbles–microdroplets that, when ...
