Scientists from Rice University have teamed up with the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to study drug and gene delivery. In experimental studies, which involved drug-resistant cancer cells, the scientists discovered that when compared to conventional drug treatment, chemotherapy drugs loaded with nanobubbles were 30x more lethal to cancer cells and needed just 1/10th of the clinical dose.
