The project focuses on using ultrasound-responsive microbubbles containing xenon and argon gases to treat neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, aiming to reduce brain injury and improve neurological outcomes.
Description
This NIH-funded project aims to develop a novel, non-invasive treatment for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy using microbubbles loaded with xenon and argon gases, activated by ultrasound to deliver targeted therapy across the blood-brain barrier, with the goal of reducing brain injury and preserving neurological function in affected infants.
