ABSTRACT

Aim:

To establish a methodology for understanding how ultrasound (US) induces drug release from nano-sized drug-delivery systems (NSDDSs) and enhances drug penetration and uptake in tumors. This aims to advance cancer treatment strategies.Materials &

methods:

We developed a multi-physics mathematical model to elucidate and understand the intricate mechanisms governing drug release, transport and delivery. Unique in vitro models (monolayer, multilayer, spheroid) and a tailored US exposure setup were introduced to evaluate drug penetration and uptake.

Results:

The results highlight the potential advantages of US-mediated NSDDSs over conventional NSDDSs and chemotherapy, notably in enhancing drug release and inducing cell death.

Conclusion:

Our sophisticated numerical and experimental methods aid in determining and quantifying drug penetration and uptake into solid tumors.
