Abstract:
Recently there have been increasing interests in ultrasound-mediated gene delivery techniques. This paper reviews the general concept of sonoporation, the effect of contrast agents, and the in vitro and in vivo applications of such techniques. Factors which contribute to the efficiency of gene delivery were also discussed. The technology is promising and has great potential in targeted drug delivery and gene delivery applications.
