Ultrasound-Directed, Site-Specific Gene Delivery

With the implementation of gene therapy looming in the near term, an effective delivery system using noninvasive, nonviral-mediated methods appears as an attractive option. This novel platform technology uses gas-filled, ultrasound-directed acoustic microspheres for both diagnostic imaging and therapy and yet may provide a key component for future success in the pursuit of single-gene replacement therapy.
