摘要:
A system and method for using ultrasound and a microbubble agent to induce ceramide accumulation in a target region including a population of cells associated with a tumor. An ultrasound system is directed to expose a target region in a patient, to which a microbubble agent has been provided, to an ultrasound exposure sufficient to alter gene expressions in cells in the target region so as to induce an accumulation of ceramide in the cells.
