Characterization of ultrasound-mediated delivery of trastuzumab to normal and pathologic spinal cord tissue

Abstract Extensive studies on focused ultrasound (FUS)-mediated drug delivery through the blood–brain barrier have been published, yet little work has been published on FUS-mediated drug delivery through the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB). This work aims to quantify the delivery of the monoclonal...
