This paper develops a system to image in situ transcriptional activity in opaque tissues using ultrasound and acoustic reporter genes, demonstrating long-term tracking of gene expression in the mouse brain.

PhysiofUS uses ultrafast ultrasound to automatically detect heart and breathing rates from tissue motion in rodents and human neonates, validated against gold-standard electrodes.

This paper develops a non-invasive ultrasound-based method to track cell-based therapies using acoustic reporter genes in primary mammalian cells.
