ABSTRACT
Ultrasonic beam can be focused on a particular tissue. As ultrasound contrast agents for medical ultrasound imaging, gas-filled microbubbles can also be used as drugs or gene carriers. Therefore, ultrasonic microbubbles become a topic of intense interest in drug delivery because they can be used as gene targeting delivery systems. Based on the relevant materials, the applications of ultrasonic microbubbles as gene delivery systems in various tissues in vivo were reviewed, such as cardiac, vascular, skeletal muscle and tumor. Their potential problems in future use were also discussed.
