Facilitation of Drug Transport across the Blood–Brain Barrier with Ultrasound and Microbubbles
Medical treatment options for central nervous system (CNS) diseases are limited due to the inability of most therapeutic agents to penetrate the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Although a variety of approaches have been investigated to open the BBB for facilitation of drug delivery, none has achieved cli...
