Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a new drug delivery system using ultrasound-activated nanoparticles to break through and ...

these rapidly vaporize and thus both physically disrupt biofilms and release drugs directly at the infection site. Ultrasound can be precisely focused deep inside the body, which is a key ...

This diagram illustrates how the robots are remotely controlled by human operators ... Once the biofilm-eradication process is complete, the robot gets removed from the body via a laparoscopically ...
