An illustration of improved delivery of anti-cancer drugs to malignancies in the brain. On the left half, focused ultrasound agitates microbubbles, which breach the blood-brain barrier, allowing drug molecules to get through. The forces also stir interstitial fluid to circulate the drug, and they also encourage the drug to cross cell membranes more easily into tumor cells.
