• Microbubbles in ultrasound-triggered drug and gene delivery. (2008, background): “Polymeric microbubbles exhibit quite different behavior in response to ultrasound as compared to lipid-shelled microbubbles [24].”
• Tumor Targeting via EPR: Strategies to Enhance Patient Responses (2018, background): “Lipid-based microbubbles are able to oscillate better, and the shell decomposes into fragments at elevating pressures whereas polymerbased microbubbles will remain largely intact and release the containing gas as a bubble through a shell defect [130].”
