Evidence Snippets
This new type of GVs can be stably produced in bacteria and is able to be imaged by clinical ultrasound machines in vivo and in vitro.
Gas vesicles (GVs) based on acoustic reporter genes have emerged as potent contrast agents for cellular and molecular ultrasound imaging.

Plasmid-based ARG expression hinders stable in vivo expression and limits space for inserting drug-release regulatory components.
