Abstract: Provided is a composition comprising sonosensitive liposomes for penetrating the blood-brain barrier, wherein the sonosensitive liposomes have excellent drug loading efficiency and ultrasound-induced drug release effect and can effectively penetrating the blood-brain barrier during ultrasound stimulation, and the sonosensitive liposomes can circulate in the body for a long time, and thus have better blood-brain barrier penetration efficiency, a high affinity for brain tumor cells, and excellent delivery effect to tumor sites and can be used as a drug delivery system for delivering brain disease therapeutic agents and the like to the brain.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel nanoparticles using an anionic polymer, a preparation method thereof, a composition, and the like, and the present invention is used for a method of necrosing cancer cells by blocking major blood vessels that supply nutrients to cancer cells to induce an embolic effect, and thus may be used for the treatment of patients with cancer.

Abstract: The present invention aims to dramatically increase the effect of hepatic arterial chemoembolization by developing human serum albumin-based nanoparticles, which are bioproteins that effectively carry Adriamycin in place of Adriamycin, an anticancer agent used in hepatic arterial chemoembolization. The human serum albumin nanoparticles carrying the Adriamycin not only intensively infiltrate the drug effectively into the cells but also have a synergistic effect that can induce a long-term therapeutic effect by utilizing the effect of continuous drug release from the particles.

Abstract: Provided is an immune microbubble complex, and a use thereof. An immune-microbubble complex (IMC) according to the presently claimed subject matter includes microbubbles to which an antibody is conjugated, in which the microbubbles have excellent stability and excellent antibody binding strength, and it was confirmed that, when the immune-microbubble complex is treated with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), an anti-tumor effect is significantly increased and an immune-enhancing effect is exhibited. Therefore, the immune-microbubble complex according to the presently claimed subject matter is expected to increase the efficiency of delivering the conjugated antibody and be used in both diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and exhibit various functions in the field of immunotherapy, including a contrast effect, half-life improvement, improved drug delivery, a lymphocyte concentration effect, cancer immunotherapy and induction of immunotherapy using ultrasound.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dual-purpose photoacoustic tomography (PAT)/ultrasound contrast agent comprising: (a) a micro-bubble containing gas and porphyrin therein; and (b) nanoparticles bound on a surface of the micro-bubble and containing a drug. The contrast agent of the present invention can be used in both the ultrasound diagnosis and the photoacoustic image diagnosis, and can significantly increase the accuracy of photoacoustic images.
