Lipid-shelled microbubbles (MBs) offer potential as theranostic agents, capable of providing both contrast enhancement in ultrasound imaging as well as a route for triggered drug release and improved localized drug delivery. A common motif in the design of such therapeutic vehicles is the attachment...
