Ultrasound‐microbubble cavitation facilitates adeno‐associated virus mediated cochlear gene transfection across the round‐window membrane
18 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
The round window of the cochlea provides an ideal route for delivering medicines and gene therapy reagents that can cross the round window membrane (RWM) into the inner ear. Recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) have several advantages and are recommended as viral vectors for gene transfection. However, rAAVs cannot cross an intact RWM. Consequently, ultrasound-mediated microbubble (USMB) cavitation is...
