Abstract
Drug delivery to the brain is complicated due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) [1]. BBB disruption has been demonstrated in vivo using ultrasound-driven microbubbles. However, the underlying mechanisms are not clear thereby limiting clinical translation [2]. Here, we aim to unravel this physical and biological multi-timescale problem by using an optically accessible BBB on-chip model, ultra-high-speed imaging of the bubble dynamics, transendothelial resistance measurements, and monodisperse microbubbles. The results show that our organ-on-chip platform together with monodisperse microbubbles is a powerful tool to correlate microbubble dynamics to the induced bioeffects.
