Remote targeted implantation of sound-sensitive biodegradable multi-cavity microparticles with focused ultrasound

Ultrasound-enhanced drug delivery has shown great promise in providing targeted burst release of drug at the site of the disease. Yet current solid ultrasound-responsive particles are non-degradable with limited potential for drug-loading. Here, we report on an ultrasound-responsive multi-cavity...

description Ultrasound-enhanced drug delivery has shown great promise in providing targeted burst release of drug at the site of the disease. Yet current solid ultrasound-responsive particles are non-degradable with limited potential for drug-loading. Here, we report on an ultrasound-responsive multi-cavity poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticle (mcPLGA MP) loaded with rhodamine B (RhB) with or without 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) to represent small molecule therapeutics.
