Targeted and Reversible Blood-Retinal Barrier Disruption via Focused Ultrasound and Microbubbles

The blood-retinal barrier (BRB) prevents most systemically-administered drugs from reaching the retina. This study investigated whether burst ultrasound applied with a circulating microbubble agent can disrupt the BRB, providing a noninvasive method for the targeted delivery of systemically administ...
