sonoporation

Sonoporation is a technique that uses ultrasound waves and tiny gas bubbles to temporarily create small openings in cell membranes. This process allows substances like medicines, genes, or other molecules to enter cells more easily. It works by increasing cell membrane permeability without causing permanent damage, making it useful for targeted drug delivery and gene therapy. To visualize it, think of ultrasound as a gentle "push" that temporarily opens the cell's gate, letting therapeutic agents in more efficiently.
