CHINESE RESEARCHERS USE MICROBUBBLES TO SHRINK AGGRESSIVE LIVER TUMOURS: PAPER

Chinese researchers have found a safe way to shrink advanced tumours from an aggressive form of liver cancer, an advance that could see microbubbles used to enhance current treatments. The tiny gas-filled bubbles, typically a few micrometres in diameter, were originally designed as contrast agents in ultrasound imaging, but scientists have recently been exploring their therapeutic potential.
