An in vitro model of temporal enhancement of epithelium barrier permeability by low-energy shock waves without contrast agents.

One of the commonly used techniques for drug delivery is to temporarily increase the permeability of tissue barriers. Acoustic energies such as ultrasound and shock waves are known to modulate tissue permeability. Recently, it was found that shock waves modulate the blood-brain barrier in the rat br...
