In this communication, we report an ultrasound-assisted method, utilising human red blood cell (RBC) or erythrocyte membranes, to produce acoustically active "bubbles", intended for vasculature imaging. The resulting RBC membrane bubbles have an average size of 1.5 μm with a generally spherical morphology, altered internal aqueous compartment contents, and small gas-containing protrusions or "pockets" in between the membrane bilayer. We also found that this method produced some nanobubbles (200- ...[more]
