Abstract
In this issue, we present the current applications and future prospects of ultrasound in various aspects of drug and gene delivery. There are many advantages to ultrasound that make it ideal for the delivery of therapeutics and the stimulation of tissues—perhaps the most important of which is that US is a mechanical and yet non-invasive means of delivery that can be applied to a very wide range of therapeutics and target sites.
