NSF/FDA SiR: Assessment of microbubble-induced stresses with mechanophores — NSF Award to University of Chicago (IL, $199,930)
Therapeutic ultrasound technology kills cancer with high intensity, high frequency sound waves. The sound waves generate small bubbles that rupture nearby cancer cells. Therapeutic ultrasound procedures can achieve the same goals as surgery without an incision, leading to shorter recovery times and lower costs. One thi

| Abstract | Therapeutic ultrasound technology kills cancer with high intensity, high frequency sound waves. The sound waves generate small bubbles that rupture nearby cancer cells. Therapeutic ultrasound procedures can achieve the same goals as surgery without an incision, leading to shorter recovery times and lower costs. One thing not well understand about therapeutic ultrasound is the amount of bubble activity needed for the procedure to be successful. In this NSF/FDA Scholars-in-Residence project, a mol |
