Nonviral, ultrasound-triggered gene delivery platform via gas-core cationic nanobubbles

This paper develops a nonviral, ultrasound-triggered gene delivery platform using cationic nanobubbles that achieve efficient, site-specific gene expression in vitro and in vivo.

Simultaneous Functional Ultrasound, Intrinsic Optical Signal and Widefield Calcium Neuroimaging

This study combines functional ultrasound with optical imaging to show CBV correlates with hemoglobin and calcium activity in awake mice, and applies it to study neurovascular dysfunction in glioblastoma.

Synthesis and Characterization of ICG-based Near-infrared Photoacoustic Contrast Agents

This paper develops three ICG-based nanoprobe platforms to improve NIR-PAI contrast agents by enhancing signal stability and reducing background noise.
