The Role of Ultrasound Contrast Agents in Producing Sonoporation
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis dissertation successfully elucidated the physical mechanism of sonoporation. Oscillation of UCAs near a cell produced microstreaming that resulted in shear stress on the cell membranes. This shear stress resulted in sonoporation, a permeability change that allowed for the uptake of macromolecules into the cells.
