Frequency-Dependent Modulation of Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis, Memory, and BDNF Signaling by Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound

Kareen Kanaan, Heba M. Badawe, Wassim G. Abou-Kheir, Massoud L. Khraiche

This study shows that low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) at 0.5 MHz enhances adult hippocampal neurogenesis and memory in rats, while higher frequencies have weaker effects.

HIFU Thermal Ablation in Breast Cancer Cells: Monolayers vs. Spheroids

Heba M. Badawe, Jean Paul Harrouz, Petra Raad…·Massoud L. Khraiche

This study compares HIFU ablation efficiency in 2D monolayers and 3D spheroids of breast cancer cells, finding that spheroids require lower temperatures and higher duty cycles for effective ablation.
