Journal ArticleDOI
Attachment of hyaluronan to metallic surfaces.
William G. Pitt,Robert N. Morris,Mitchell L. Mason,Matthew W. Hall,Yi Luo,Glenn D. Prestwich +5 more
TL;DR: Results of a technique to mask the surface of metals with a natural biopolymer, hyaluronan, show potential for modulating cell growth and cellular interactions with metallic implants, such as vascular stents, orthopedic implants, heart valve cages, and more.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasonic Drug Delivery – A General Review
TL;DR: There remains a need to better understand the physics of cavitation of microbubbles and the impact that such cavitation has on cells and drug-carrying vesicle and makes cell membranes and capillaries more permeable to drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micelles and nanoparticles for ultrasonic drug and gene delivery
TL;DR: New technologies that combine the use of nanoparticles with acoustic power both in drug and gene delivery both in vitro and in vivo are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound increases the rate of bacterial cell growth.
William G. Pitt,S. Aaron Ross +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that low‐frequency ultrasound (70 kHz) of low acoustic intensity increased the growth rate of the cells compared to growth without ultrasound, however, at high intensity levels, cells were partially removed from the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of cavitation in acoustically activated drug delivery.
Ghaleb A. Husseini,Mario A. Diaz de la Rosa,Eric S. Richardson,Douglas A. Christensen,William G. Pitt +4 more
TL;DR: This study showed a strong correlation between percent drug release and subharmonic acoustic emissions, and they attribute the drug release to collapse cavitation that perturbs the structure of the micelle and releases drug.
