Spatial Control of Gene Expression by Nanocarriers

Spatial Control of Gene Expression by Nanocarriers Using Heparin Masking and Ultrasound-Targeted Microbubble Destruction First author Beata Chertok describes the fundamentals of gene therapy, and then notes how the two-step process described in their paper - surface masking followed by the use of microbubbles and ultrasound to activate gene expression at target cells- can help reduce toxicity.
