Ultrasound-mediated mechanical forces selectively kill tumor cells

2020-10-09

Abstract excerpt

Ultrasound has been used to target tumors either through local heating or local nanobubbles but these methods damage surrounding normal cells in the target area. Recent studies show that tumor cells are susceptible to mechanical stresses and undergo calcium-dependent apoptosis under conditions that promote normal cell growth. Here we report that low-frequency ultrasound causes apoptosis of tumor cells by activatin...
