Scientists from Skoltech, MIPT, Prokhorov General Physics Institute of RAS, and a number of other research centers have shown microbubbles made of a protein called albumin to be effective vehicles for the delivery of photodynamic agents—drugs used in an advanced anti-cancer therapy that avoids many of the side effects associated with chemo- and radiation therapy. The findings are reported in Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces.
