Differential effects on membrane permeability and viability of human keratinocyte cells undergoing very low intensity megasonic fields

Abstract Among different therapeutic applications of Ultrasound (US), transient membrane sonoporation (SP) - a temporary, non-lethal porosity, mechanically induced in cell membranes through US exposure - represents a compelling opportunity towards an efficient and safe drug delivery. Nevertheless, p...
