LIMU at the science forum “RadMed-2025”
On December 9–10, 2025, the II International Youth Science Forum "RadMed-2025" was held at Moscow State University. Our research fellow, Ekaterina Ponomarchuk, participated as an invited speaker with an overview talk on "Incisionless fractionation of soft tissues using pulsed high-intensity focused ultrasound".
Our first experiments on incisionless mechanical fractionation of human leiomyosarcoma have been published in the Q1-journal Ultrasonics
A top-rated journal Ultrasonics (Q1, IF 4.1) has published our paper titled "Non-thermal ultrasound-guided fractionation of human leiomyosarcoma with boiling histotripsy: an ex vivo feasibility study" on our pilot results of mechanical fractionation of human leiomyosarcoma with pulsed high-intensity focused ultrasound using boiling histotripsy. The study was performed in collaboration with the MSU University Clinic, Pulmonology Research Institute, and the Human Morphology Research Institute.
The Q1 journal Ultrasonics published an article with the results of our research in the field of transcranial therapeutic ultrasound
The high-ranking journal Ultrasonics (Q1, IF 4.1) published our paper on the study of the effect of alendronate therapy on skull density, structure, and the efficacy of focused ultrasound brain therapy. The research was conducted by LIMU research fellows, Alisa Krokhmal and Vera Khokhlova, along with PhD student Daria Chupova, in collaboration with the V.S. Buzaev International Medical Center.
