Microbubbles could image the heart and deliver anti-clotting drugs simultaneously | Longevity science | Scoop.it

The bubbles that biologist Jason Castle is working with are described as “tiny gas-filled spheres the size of red bloods cells.” Delivered through an ordinary IV, they can travel through the bloodstream to the heart – or anywhere else.
