Biodegradable, Implantable Ultrasound Device Helps Open the Blood-Brain Barrier to Help Medicine Reach the Brain

Getting therapeutics to cross the blood-brain barrier is one of the biggest hurdles to many investigational neuroscience macromolecules. This approach of using a proven mechanism of action (ultrasound) in a device that is easily implantable and does not need to later be removed looks promising.
