Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal subtype of gliomas of the central nervous system. The efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) against GBM is significantly reduced by the expression of apoptosis-inhibitory proteins in GBM cells. In this study, an intelligent nanoplatform (denoted as Aza-BD@PC NPs) based on the aza-boron-dipyrromethene dye and phenyl chlorothionocarbonate-modified DSPE-PEG molecules is developed for synergistic ferroptosis-enabled gas therapy (GT) and SDT of GBM. Once internalized by GBM cells, Aza-BD@PC NPs showed effective cysteine (Cys) consumption and Cys-triggered hydrogen sulfide (H2S) release for ferroptosis-enabled GT, thereby disrupting homeostasis in the intracellular environment, affecting GBM cell metabolism, and inhibiting GBM cell proliferation. Additionally, the released Aza-BD generated abundant singlet oxygen (1O2) under ultrasound irradiation for favorable SDT. In vivo and in vitro evaluations demonstrated that the combined functions of Cys consumption, H2S production, and 1O2 production induced significant death of GBM cells and markedly inhibited tumor growth, with an impressive inhibition rate of up to 97.5%. Collectively, this study constructed a cascade nanoreactor with satisfactory Cys depletion performance, excellent H2S release capability, and prominent reactive oxygen species production ability under ultrasound irradiation for the synergistic ferroptosis-enabled GT and SDT of gliomas.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated tumor cell death is a powerful anticancer strategy. Cuproptosis is a copper-dependent and ROS-mediated prospective tumor therapy strategy. However, the complex tumor microenvironment (TME), low tumor specificity, poor therapy efficiency, and lack of imaging capability impair the therapy output of current cuproptosis drugs. Herein, we designed a dual-responsive two-dimensional metal-organic framework (2D MOF) nanotheranostic via a coordination self-assembly strategy using Au(III) tetra-(4-pyridyl) porphine (AuTPyP) as the ligand and copper ions (Cu2+) as nodes. The dual-stimulus combined with the protonation of the pyridyl group in AuTPyP and deep-penetration ultrasound (US) together triggered the controlled release in an acidic TME. The ultrathin structure (3.0 nm) of nanotheranostics promoted the release process. The released Cu2+ was reduced to Cu+ by depleting the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor, which not only activated the Ferredoxin 1 (FDX1)-mediated cuproptosis but also catalyzed the overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor into reactive oxygen species via Fenton-like reaction. Simultaneously, the released AuTPyP could specifically bind with thioredoxin reductase and activate the redox imbalance of tumor cells. These together selectively induced significant mitochondrial vacuoles and prominent tumor cell death but did not damage the normal cells. The fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results verified this nanotheranostic could target the HeLa tumor to greatly promote the self-enhanced effect of chemotherapy/cuproptosis and tumor inhibition efficiency. The work helped to elucidate the controlled assembly of multiresponsive nanotheranostics and the high-specificity ROS regulation for application in anticancer therapy.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) nanoparticles could have great potential for contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging (CEUS) due to their gas-generating properties and sensitivity to physiological conditions. However, the use of nano CaCO3 for biomedical applications requires the assistance of stabilizers to control the size and avoid the fast dissolution/recrystallization of the particles when exposed to aqueous conditions. EXPERIMENTS Herein, we report the stabilization of nano CaCO3 using lignin, and synthesized core-shell amorphous CaCO3-lignin nanoparticles (LigCC NPs) with a diameter below 100 nm. We have then investigated the echogenicity of the LigCC NPs by monitoring the consequent generation of contrast in vitro for 90 min in linear and non-linear B-mode imaging. FINDINGS This research explores how lignin type and structure affect stabilization efficiency, lignin structuration around CaCO3 cores, and particle echogenicity. Interestingly, by employing lignin as the stabilizer, it becomes possible to maintain the echogenic properties of CaCO3, whereas the use of lipid coatings prevents the production of signal generation in ultrasound imaging. This work opens new avenue for CEUS imaging of the vascular and extravascular space using CaCO3, as it highlights the potential to generate contrast for extended durations at physiological pH by utilizing the amorphous phase of CaCO3.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a natural common inorganic material with good biocompatibility, low toxicity, pH sensitivity, and low cost, has a widespread use in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. In recent years, an increasing number of CaCO3-based nano-drug delivery systems have been developed. CaCO3 as a drug carrier and the utilization of CaCO3 as an efficient Ca2+ and CO2 donor have played a critical role in tumor diagnosis and treatment and have been explored in increasing depth and breadth. Starting from the CaCO3-based nano-drug delivery system, this paper systematically reviews the preparation of CaCO3 nanoparticles and the mechanisms of CaCO3-based therapeutic effects in the internal and external tumor environments and summarizes the latest advances in the application of CaCO3-based nano-drug delivery systems in tumor therapy. In view of the good biocompatibility and in vivo therapeutic mechanisms, they are expected to become an advancing biomedicine in the field of tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Targeted and controllable drug release at lesion sites with the aid of visual navigation in real-time is of great significance for precise theranostics of cancers. Benefiting from the marvelous features (e.g., bright emission and phototheranostic effects in aggregates) of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials, constructing AIE-based multifunctional nanocarriers that act as all-arounders to integrate multimodalities for precise theranostics is highly desirable. Here, an intelligent nanoplatform (P-TN-Dox@CM) with homologous targeting, controllable drug release, and in vivo dual-modal imaging for precise chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy is proposed. AIE photothermic agent (TN) and anticancer drug (Dox) are encapsulated in thermo-/pH-responsive nanogels (PNA), and the tumor cell membranes are camouflaged onto the surface of nanogels. Active targeting can be realized through homologous effects derived from source tumor cell membranes, which advantageously elevates the specific drug delivery to tumor sites. After being engulfed into tumor cells, the nanogels exhibit a burst drug release at low pH. The near-infrared (NIR) photoinduced local hyperthermia can activate severe cytotoxicity and further accelerate drug release, thus generating enhanced synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy to thoroughly eradicate tumors. Moreover, P-TN-Dox@CM nanogels could achieve NIR-fluorescence/photothermal dual-modal imaging to monitor the dynamic distribution of therapeutics in real-time. This work highlights the great potential of smart P-TN-Dox@CM nanogels as a versatile nanoplatform to integrate multimodalities for precise chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy in combating cancers.

Abstract
Imaging-guided therapy holds great potential for enhancing therapeutic performance in a personalized way. However, it is still challenging to develop appropriate multifunctional materials to overcome the limitations of current all-in-one theranostic agents. In this study, we developed a one-for-all theranostic nanoplatform called Mn(II)-hemoporfin MOFs, designed specifically for MRI-guided sonodynamic tumor therapy. The formation of MOF structures not only improves imaging but also enhances therapeutic effects through collective actions. Furthermore, by modifying polyethylene glycol (PEG), Mn(II)-hemoporfin-PEG was able to enhance permeability and retention effects, ensuring long circulation in the blood and accumulation in the tumor. MRI enhancement provided by Mn(II)-hemoporfin-PEG remained localized at the tumor site, with Mn(II)-hemoporfin-PEG demonstrating 88.6% efficacy in sonodynamic therapy testing in vivo. Mn(II)-hemoporfin-PEG exhibits excellent longitudinal relaxation, MRI effects, and sonodynamic performance, making it a promising alternative for clinical cancer treatment.

Abstract
The clinical application of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is greatly limited by the low quantum yield of sonosensitizers and tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, PtMo-Au metalloenzyme sonosensitizer is synthesized by modulating energy band structure of PtMo with Au nanoparticles. The surface deposition of Au simultaneously solves the carrier recombination and facilitates the separation of electrons (e- ) and holes (h+ ), effectively improving the reactive oxygen species (ROS) quantum yield under ultrasound (US). The catalase-like activity of PtMo-Au metalloenzymes alleviates hypoxia TME, thus enhancing the SDT-induced ROS generation. More importantly, tumor overexpressed glutathione (GSH) can serve as the hole scavenger, which is accompanied by a persistent depletion of the GSH, thus inactivating GPX4 for the accumulation of lipid peroxides. The distinctly facilitated SDT-induced ROS production is coupled with chemodynamic therapy (CDT)-induced hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to exacerbate ferroptosis. Furthermore, Au with glucose oxidase mimic activity can not only inhibit intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and induce tumor cell starvation but also generate H2 O2 to facilitate CDT. In general, this PtMo-Au metalloenzyme sonosensitizer optimizes the defects of conventional sonosensitizers through surface deposition of Au to regulate TME, providing a novel perspective for US-based tumor multimodal therapy.

Abstract
With the rapid development of sonodynamic therapy (SDT), sonosensitizers have evolved from traditional treatments to comprehensive diagnostics and therapies. Sonosensitizers play a crucial role in the integration of ultrasound imaging (USI), X-ray computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostics while also playing a therapeutic role. This review was based on recent articles on multifunctional sonosensitizers that were used in SDT for the treatment of cancer and have the potential for clinical USI, CT, and MRI applications. Next, some of the shortcomings of the clinical examination and the results of sonosensitizers in animal imaging were described. Finally, this paper attempted to inform the future development of sonosensitizers in the field of integrative diagnostics and therapeutics and to point out current problems and prospects for their application.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has gained significant attention in the treatment of deep tumors and multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections due to its high tissue penetration depth, high spatiotemporal selectivity, and noninvasive therapeutic method. SDT combines low-intensity ultrasound (US) and sonosensitizers to produce lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) and external damage, which is the main mechanism behind this therapy. However, traditional organic small-molecule sonosensitizers display poor water solubility, strong phototoxicity, and insufficient targeting ability. Inorganic sonosensitizers, on the other hand, have low ROS yield and poor biocompatibility. These drawbacks have hindered SDT's clinical transformation and application. Hence, designing stimuli-responsive nano-sonosensitizers that make use of the lesion's local microenvironment characteristics and US stimulation is an excellent alternative for achieving efficient, specific, and safe treatment. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the currently accepted mechanisms in SDT and discuss the application of responsive nano-sonosensitizers in the treatment of tumor and bacterial infections. Additionally, we emphasize the significance of the principle and process of response, based on the classification of response patterns. Finally, this review emphasizes the potential limitations and future perspectives of SDT that need to be addressed to promote its clinical transformation.

Abstract
Increasing the yield of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to enhance oxidative stress in cells is an eternal goal in cancer therapy. In this study, BiVO4 artificial nanozyme is developed with adjustable vanadium vacancy for ultrasound (US) enhanced piezoelectric/sonodynamic therapy. Under US excitation, the vanadium vacancy-rich BiVO4 nanosheets (abbreviated Vv -r BiVO4 NSs) facilitate the generation of a large number of electrons to improve the ROS yield. Meanwhile, the mechanical strain imposed by US irradiation makes the Vv -r BiVO4 NSs display a typical piezoelectric response, which tilts the conduction band to be more negative and the valance band more positive than the redox potentials of O2 /O2 •- and H2 O/·OH, boosting the efficiency of ROS generation. Both density functional theory calculations and experiments confirm that the introduction of cationic vacancy can improve the sonodynamic effect. As expected, Vv -r BiVO4 NSs have better peroxidase enzyme catalytic and glutathione depletion activities, resulting in increased intracellular oxidative stress. This triple amplification strategy of oxidative stress induced by US substantially inhibits the growth of cancer cells. The work may open an avenue to achieve a synergetic therapy by introducing cationic vacancy, broadening the biomedical use of piezoelectric materials.

Abstract
Inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) by sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is promising for cancer immunotherapy, which however is inefficient due to oxygen depletion that compromises SDT effect and mediates recruitment of immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). The fabrication of sono-activatable semiconducting polymer nanopartners (SPNTi ) to simultaneously augment ICD and alleviate MDSCs for immunotherapy is reported. A sonodynamic semiconducting polymer, hydrophobic hypoxia-responsive tirapazamine (TPZ)-conjugate, and MDSC-targeting drug (ibrutinib) are encapsulated inside such SPNTi with surface shell of a singlet oxygen (1 O2 )-cleavable amphiphilic polymer. TPZ and ibrutinib serve as drug partners to enlarge immunotherapeutic effect. Upon sono-activation, SPNTi generate 1 O2 to break 1 O2 -cleavable polymers for in situ liberations of TPZ-conjugate and ibrutinib in tumor sites, and oxygen is consumed to create severe hypoxic tumor microenvironment, in which, TPZ-conjugate is activated for augmenting ICD action, while ibrutinib alleviates MDSCs for promoting antitumor immunological effect. In a bilateral tumor mouse model, SPNTi -mediated sono-activatable immunotherapy results in growth restraints of primary and distant tumors and noteworthy precaution of tumor metastases. This study thus provides a sono-activatable immunotherapeutic strategy with high precision and safety for cancer via overcoming post-treatment hypoxia and targeting MDSCs.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has made remarkable strides in cancer therapy over the past decade. However, such emerging therapy still suffers from the low response rates and immune-related adverse events. Various strategies have been developed to overcome these serious challenges. Therein, sonodynamic therapy (SDT), as a non-invasive treatment, has received ever-increasing attention especially in the treatment of deep-seated tumors. Significantly, SDT can effectively induce immunogenic cell death to trigger systemic anti-tumor immune response, termed sonodynamic immunotherapy. The rapid development of nanotechnology has revolutionized SDT effects with robust immune response induction. As a result, more and more innovative nanosonosensitizers and synergistic treatment modalities are established with superior efficacy and safe profile. In this review, the recent advances in cancer sonodynamic immunotherapy are summarized with a particular emphasis on how nanotechnology can be explored to harness SDT for amplifying anti-tumor immune response. Moreover, the current challenges in this field and the prospects for its clinical translation are also presented. It is anticipated that this review can provide rational guidance and facilitate the development of nanomaterials-assisted sonodynamic immunotherapy, helping to pave the way for next-generation cancer therapy and eventually achieve a durable response in patients.

Abstract
Bioactive materials are a special class of biomaterials that can react in vivo to induce a biological response or regulate biological functions, thus achieving a better curative effect than traditional inert biomaterials. For cancer theranostics, compared with organic or polymer nanomaterials, inorganic nanomaterials possess unique physical and chemical properties, have stronger mechanical stability on the basis of maintaining certain bioactivity, and are easy to be compounded with various carriers (polymer carriers, biological carriers, etc.), so as to achieve specific antitumor efficacy. After entering the nanoscale, due to the nano-size effect, high specific surface area and special nanostructures, inorganic nanomaterials exhibit unique biological effects, which significantly influence the interaction with biological organisms. Therefore, the research and applications of bioactive inorganic nanomaterials in cancer theranostics have attracted wide attention. In this review, we mainly summarize the recent progress of bioactive inorganic nanomaterials in cancer theranostics, and also introduce the definition, synthesis and modification strategies of bioactive inorganic nanomaterials. Thereafter, the applications of bioactive inorganic nanomaterials in tumor imaging and antitumor therapy, including tumor microenvironment (TME) regulation, catalytic therapy, gas therapy, regulatory cell death and immunotherapy, are discussed. Finally, the biosafety and challenges of bioactive inorganic nanomaterials are also mentioned, and their future development opportunities are prospected. This review highlights the bioapplication of bioactive inorganic nanomaterials.

Abstract
Microbubbles have been the earliest and most widely used ultrasound contrast agents by virtue of their unique features: such as non-toxicity, intravenous injectability, ability to cross the pulmonary capillary bed, and significant enhancement of echo signals for the duration of the examination, resulting in essential preclinical and clinical applications. The use of microbubbles functionalized with targeting ligands to bind to specific targets in the bloodstream has further enabled ultrasound molecular imaging. Nevertheless, it is very challenging to utilize targeted microbubbles for molecular imaging of extravascular targets due to their size. A series of acoustic nanomaterials have been developed for breaking free from this constraint. Especially, biogenic gas vesicles, gas-filled protein nanostructures from microorganisms, were engineered as the first biomolecular ultrasound contrast agents, opening the door for more direct visualization of cellular and molecular function by ultrasound imaging. The ordered protein shell structure and unique gas filling mechanism of biogenic gas vesicles endow them with excellent stability and attractive acoustic responses. What's more, their genetic encodability enables them to act as acoustic reporter genes. This article reviews the upgrading progresses of ultrasound contrast agents from microbubbles to biogenic gas vesicles, and the opportunities and challenges for the commercial and clinical translation of the nascent field of biomolecular ultrasound.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can be described as ultrasonic (US) catalysis. Adequate charge separation is considered as effective means to promote reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, hollow CoP@N-carbon@PEG (CPCs@PEG) nanospheres (∼60 nm) are prepared as sonosensitizers, showing greater ROS generation than pure CoP@PEG under US irradiation. Both 1O2 and ·O2- are activation species that are determined by O2 and electrons. The great SDT performance of CPCs@PEG is ascribed to the heterostructure which promotes the separation and transfer for US-generated electrons and holes. In addition, holes can be further captured by endogenous glucose that is in favor of electron aggregation and ROS generation. Moreover, the consumption of glucose would decrease intracellular ATP for starvation therapy. Given the higher oxidation ability of Co3+, CPCs@PEG nanospheres possess catalase (CAT) activity to convert H2O2 into O2 for assisting ROS generation. Moreover, they also can oxidize glutathione (GSH) as a mimic GSH oxidase to break intratumor redox balance, facilitating oxidative stress. More importantly, the nanocomposites reveal good degradation ability dominated by the oxidation from insoluble phosphide into soluble phosphate, accelerating elimination via urine and feces within 14 days. CPCs@PEG nanospheres integrate the above effects not only to reveal great tumor inhibition ability but also to excite immune activation for anticancer.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is widely regarded as a promising treatment for cancer. However, the immune effector phase suppression of tumor microenvironment (TME) and the generation of immune-related adverse events limit its application. Research indicates that sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can effectively activate antitumor immunity while killing tumor cells. SDT produces cytotoxic substances of tumors, and then cell apoptosis and immunogenic death occur by selectively activating the sonosensitizer under ultrasound. In recent years, various SDT alone as well as SDT in combination with other therapies have been developed to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) and enhance immunotherapy. This paper overviews the research progress of SDT and nanotechnology in recent years, including the strategies involving SDT alone, SDT-based synergistic induction of antitumor immunity, and immunotherapy based on SDT for multimodal immunotherapy. Finally, the prospects and challenges of these SDT-based therapies in cancer immunotherapy are discussed.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive brain tumor, which owns the characteristics of high recurrence, low survival rate and poor prognosis because of the existence of blood brain barrier (BBB) and complicated brain tumor microenvironment. Currently, immunotherapy has attracted much attention on account of favorable therapeutic effect. In this study, we designed a cRGD-modified cancer cell membrane (CM) coated calcium carbonate nanoparticle to deliver interleukin-12 messenger RNA (IL-12 mRNA@cRGD-CM-CaCO3 NPs). The cRGD-modified CM as the shell can endow the nanoparticles with BBB crossing and tumor homing/homotypic targeting effect in the brain tumor microenvironment. IL-12 mRNA-loaded calcium carbonate nanoparticles as the core allow synergistic immunotherapy of necroptosis-induced immune response and IL-12 mRNA transfection under ultrasound irradiation. The as-prepared biomimetic nanoparticles showed superior target and immunotherapeutic outcomes, suggesting that this biomimetic nanoplatform provides a feasible strategy for promoting BBB-penetrating and antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging noninvasive treatment modality that utilizes low-frequency and low-intensity ultrasound (US) to trigger sensitizers to kill tumor cells with reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although SDT has attracted much attention for its properties including high tumor specificity and deep tissue penetration, its anticancer efficacy is still far from satisfactory. As a result, new strategies such as gas-assisted therapy have been proposed to further promote the effectiveness of SDT. In this review, the mechanisms of SDT and gas-assisted SDT are first summarized. Then, the applications of gas-assisted SDT for cancer therapy are introduced and categorized by gas types. Next, therapeutic systems for SDT that can realize real-time imaging are further presented. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of gas-assisted SDT for future clinical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Gas-mediated sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has the potential to become an effective strategy to improve the therapeutic outcome and survival rate of cancer patients. Herein, titanium sulfide nanosheets (TiSX NSs) are prepared as cascade bioreactors for sequential gas-sonodynamic cancer therapy. TiSX NSs themselves as hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) donors can burst release H2 S gas. Following H2 S generation, TiSX NSs are gradually degraded to become S-defective and partly oxidized into TiOX on their surface, which endows TiSX NSs with high sonodynamic properties under ultrasound (US) irradiation. In vitro and in vivo experiments show the excellent therapeutic effects of TiSX NSs. In detail, large amounts of H2 S gas and reactive oxygen species (ROS) can simultaneously inhibit mitochondrial respiration and ATP synthesis, leading to cancer cell apoptosis. Of note, H2 S gas also plays important roles in modulating and activating the immune system to effectively inhibit pulmonary metastasis. Finally, the metabolizable TiSX NSs are excreted out of the body without inducing any significant long-term toxicity. Collectively, this work establishes a cascade bioreactor of TiSX NSs with satisfactory H2 S release ability and excellent ROS generation properties under US irradiation for programmed gas-sonodynamic cancer therapy.

Abstract
The rapid emergence of pathogenic bacteria poses a serious threat to global health. Notably, traditional antibiotic therapies suffer from the risk of strengthening bacterial drug resistance. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) combining sonosensitizers and low-intensity ultrasound (US) has broadened the way towards treating drug-resistant bacteria. The allure of this therapy emerges from the capacity to focus the US energy on bacterial infection sites buried deep in tissues, locally activating the sonosensitizers to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the ability to induce bacterial death. The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of antibacterial SDT owing to their excellent penetration, favorable biocompatibility and specific targeting ability. This review summarizes available sonosensitizers for antibacterial SDT, and digs into innovative biotechnologies to improve SDT efficiency, such as enhancing the targeting ability of sonosensitizers, image-guided assisted SDT, improvement of hypoxia and combination of SDT with other therapies. Finally, we conclude with the present challenges and provide insights into the future research of antibacterial SDT.

Abstract
The combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and immune tumor therapy has emerged as a promising avenue for cancer treatment. However, the insufficient immune response caused by inefficient immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducers and thermal resistance, immunosuppression, and immune escape resulting from the hypoxic microenvironment of solid tumors severely limit its efficacy. Herein, we report an ultrasound and laser-promoted dual-gas nano-generator (calcium carbonate-polydopamine-manganese oxide nanoparticles, CPM NPs) for enhanced photothermal/immune tumor therapy through reprogramming tumor hypoxic microenvironment. In this system, CPM NPs undergo reactive decomposition in a moderately acidic tumor, resulting in the generation of calcium, manganese ions, carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxygen (O2). Calcium and manganese ions act as adjuvants that trigger an immune response. The cancer cell membrane rupture caused by sudden burst of bubbles (CO2 and O2) under ultrasound stimulation and the photothermal properties of PDA also contributed to the ICD effect. The generation of O2 alleviates tumor hypoxia and thus reduces hypoxia-induced heat resistance and immunosuppressive effects, thereby improving the therapeutic efficacy of combination PTT and immune therapy. The present study provides a novel approach for the fabrication of a safe and effective tumor treatment platform for future clinical applications.

Abstract
As a noninvasive treatment approach for cancer and other diseases, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has attracted extensive attention due to the deep penetration of ultrasound, good focusing, and selective irradiation sites. However, intrinsic limitations of traditional sonosensitizers hinder the widespread application of SDT. With the development of nanotechnology, nanoparticles as sonosensitizers or as a vehicle to deliver sonosensitizers have been designed and used to target tissues or tumor cells with high specificity and accuracy. Autophagy is a common metabolic alteration in both normal cells and tumor cells. When autophagy happens, a double-membrane autophagosome with sequestrated intracellular components is delivered and fused with lysosomes for degradation. Recycling these cell materials can promote survival under a variety of stress conditions. Numerous studies have revealed that both apoptosis and autophagy occur after SDT. This review summarizes recent progress in autophagy activation by SDT through multiple mechanisms in tumor therapies, drug resistance, and lipid catabolism. A promising tumor therapy, which combines SDT with autophagy inhibition using a nanoparticle delivering system, is presented and investigated.

Abstract
Accurate diagnosis and highly effective treatment of glioblastoma are still challenges in clinic. Near-infrared (NIR) light triggered fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT) showed the potential for theranostics of glioblastoma, but the presence of blood-brain barrier (BBB) and hypoxia limited treatment effect. Herein, the novel theranostic nanoagents with YOF:Nd3+ as core, MnO2 as shell, and further loading photosensitizer (indocyanine green, ICG) and glucose oxidase (GOx) were successfully constructed, and further modified with lactoferrin to endow them with BBB penetration and target abilities (YOF:Nd3+@MnO2-ICG-GOx-LF, YMIGL). The YOF:Nd3+ core with good fluorescence performances makes YMIGL act as promising probes for fluorescence imaging in the second biowindow (NIR-II FL). The combination of GOx and MnO2 shell significantly increased the O2 generation from the cascade reactions and consumed glucose, improving the treatment effect of PDT and achieving starvation treatment (ST). These theranostic nanoagents exhibit a highly efficient inhibition effect on orthotopic gliomas by cascade reactions, which improved PDT and ST.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Sonodynamic therapy has attracted widespread attention for cancer treatment because of its noninvasiveness and high tissue-penetration ability. Generally, ultrasound irradiation of sonosensitizers produces separated electrons (e-) and holes (h+), which inhibits cancer by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the separated electrons (e-) and holes (h+) could easily recombine, lowering the yield of ROS and hindering the application of sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Herein, we present a highly efficient sonosensitizer system for enhanced sonodynamic therapy built on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets, bridged ZnO and Au nanoparticles, coated with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). The ultrasound irradiation activates ZnO nanoparticles to generate separated electron-hole (e--h+) pairs, and the rGO nanosheets facilitate electron transfer from ZnO to Au nanoparticles because of the narrow band gap of rGO, which could efficiently restrain the recombination of the e--h+ pairs, thereby significantly augmenting the production of ROS to kill cancer cells, such as U373MG, HeLa, and CT26 cells. Moreover, rGO nanosheets integrated with Au nanoparticles could catalyze the endogenous decomposition of H2O2 into O2, which can alleviate hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME). Therefore, the rational design of Au-rGO-ZnO@PVP nanomaterials can not only improve the efficiency of sonodynamic therapy, but also mitigate the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, which would provide a new perspective in the development of efficient sonosensitizers. ELECTRONIC SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL Supplementary material (the UV-vis-NIR absorption spectra of the DPBF and the RhB, biological effect assessment of the Au-rGO-ZnO@PVP, and the inhibition rate of tumor under different treatments during the animal study) is available in the online version of this article at 10.1007/s12274-022-4599-5.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) induces immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumors and promises to play an assistive role in immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer. However, the short half-life and limited diffusion distance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) impair ICD induction, especially in tumors with relatively poor blood perfusion and dense stroma. RESULTS To address this problem, we fabricated cavitation-assisted endoplasmic reticulum (ER) targeted sonodynamic nanodroplets (PMPS NDs, 329 nm). The good sonodynamic effect and precise endoplasmic reticulum target effect was verified. After intravenous injection, the cRGD peptide modified nanodroplets initially aggregated around the tumor vascular endothelial cells. Stimulated by ultrasound, the liquid-to-gas bubbles began to oscillate and cavitate. This acoustic droplet evaporation strategy facilitated transport of the nanoparticle across the vessel, with deep penetration. This loosened the tumor stroma and facilitated accumulation and penetration of loaded sonosensitizer after 6 h. The modified sonosensitizer can selectively accumulate in the ER to generate a large amount of ROS in situ, inducing potent ER stress, amplified ICD and dendritic cell maturation in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the elevated antitumor effect of SDT plus anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy was verified using an orthotopic tumor model. CONCLUSIONS This study reports a cavitation assisted ER targeted sonodynamic therapy that can enhance the effect of anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy effectively in orthotopic and distant pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Traditional treatments such as chemotherapy and surgery usually cause severe side effects and excruciating pain. The emergence of nanomedicines and minimally invasive therapies (MITs) has brought hope to patients with malignant diseases. Especially, minimally invasive nanomedicines (MINs), which combine the advantages of nanomedicines and MITs, can effectively target pathological cells/tissues/organs to improve the bioavailability of drugs, minimize side effects and achieve painless treatment with a small incision or no incision, thereby acquiring good therapeutic effects. In this review, we provide a comprehensive review of the research status and challenges of MINs, which generally refers to the medical applications of nanotechnology in photo-/ultrasound-/radiation-/magnetism-mediated therapy and imaging. Additionally, we also discuss their combined application in various fields including cancers, cardiovascular diseases, tissue engineering, neuro-functional diseases, and infectious diseases. The prospects, and potential bench-to-bedside translation of MINs are also presented in this review. We expect that this review can inspire the broad interest for a wide range of readers working in the fields of interdisciplinary subjects including (but not limited to) chemistry, nanomedicine, bioengineering, nanotechnology, materials science, pharmacology, and biomedicine.

LIGHT, SCIENCE & APPLICATIONS 2022; 11:116.

Abstract
The specific diagnosis and treatment of gliomas is a primary challenge in clinic due to their high invasiveness and blood-brain barrier (BBB) obstruction. It is highly desirable to find a multifunctional agent with good BBB penetration for precise theranostics. Herein, we design and construct a core-shell structured nanotheranostic agent (YVO4:Nd3+-HMME@MnO2-LF, marked as YHM) with YVO4:Nd3+ particles as the core and MnO2 nanosheets as the shell. Sonosensitizer hematoporphyrinmonomethyl ether (HMME) and lactoferrin (LF) were further loaded and modified on the surface, giving it a good ability to cross the BBB, near-infrared fluorescence imaging in the second window (NIR-II)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) bimodality, and highly efficient sonodynamic therapy (SDT) of orthotopic gliomas. The YVO4:Nd3+ (25%) core exhibited good NIR-II fluorescence properties, enabling YHM to act as promising probes for NIR-II fluorescence imaging of vessels and orthotopic gliomas. MnO2 shell can not only provide O2 in the tumor microenvironments (TME) to significantly improve the healing efficacy of SDT, but also release Mn2+ ions to achieve T1-weight MRI in situ. Non-invasive SDT can effectively restrain tumor growth. This work not only demonstrates that multifunctional YHM is promising for diagnosis and treatment of orthotopic glioma, but also provides insights into exploring the theranostic agents based on rare earth-doped yttrium vanadate nanoparticles.

Abstract
Despite intensive efforts to develop diagnostic and therapeutic tools, the successful treatment of cancer is still hampered by the obscure boundary between cancerous cells and normal cells, recurrence of the cancer, and the development of drug resistance during chemotherapy. In recent years, sonodynamic therapy (SDT), employing therapeutic ultrasound with sonosensitizers, has attracted attention as a potentially promising approach for cancer therapy. This review describes the current understanding of the mechanisms and the preclinical and clinical efficacy of SDT-based applications in tumors, providing an insight into the therapeutic potential offered by SDT. The limitations and future directions of this emerging treatment are also discussed.

Abstract
The development of highly efficient photonic nanomaterials with synergistic biological effects is critical and challenging task for public hygiene health well-being and has attracted extensive interest. In this study, a type of near-infrared (NIR) driven, virus-like heterojunction was first developed for synergistic biological application. The Ag-coated Bi2CO5 nanomaterial (BOCO@Ag) demonstrated good biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, high antibacterial activity and excellent light utilization stability. The synthesized BOCO@Ag performed a potential high photothermal conversion (efficiency~46.81%) to generate high temperatures when irradiated with near-infrared light illumination. As expected, compared to single Ag+ disinfection, BOCO@Ag can exhibit better antibacterial performance when combined with photothermal energy and released Ag+ . These results suggest that BOCO@Ag can be a promising photo-activate antimicrobial candidate and provide security for humans health and the environment treatment.

Abstract
Despite significant advances, the therapeutic impact of photodynamic therapy is still substantially hampered by the restricted penetration depth of light and the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated toxicity, which is impeded by the shorter effective half-life and radius of ROS produced during treatment. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), on the other hand, provides unrivalled benefits in deep-seated tumour ablation due to its deep penetration depth and not totally ROS-dependent toxicity, exhibiting enormous preclinical and clinical potential. In this tutorial review, we highlight imaging-guided precise SDT, which allows choosing the best treatment option and monitoring the therapy response in real-time, as well as recent clinical trials based on SDT. Aside from that, the subtle design strategies of sonosensitizers based on tumour environment shaping and rational structure modification, as well as SDT combination treatment (chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, gas therapy and immunotherapy), aimed at a more effective treatment outcome, are summarized. Finally, we discussed the future of SDT for personalized cancer and other disease treatments.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has inadequate treatment approaches and a poor prognosis. It is urgent to develop new treatment approaches for TNBC. The combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy is a very effective potential therapy for TNBC. However, asynchronous accumulation, unclear efficacy, and toxic side effects hinder the further promotion of this method. Therefore, we designed and constructed a new type of nanocarriers, the cascade release near-infrared imaging (NIFI) & thermal-chemo combination nanoparticles (CNC NPs), that can release drugs through the cascade of ultrasound triggering and pH responding to achieve the synchronous tumor accumulation, monitoring and synergistic treatment of two functional molecules. The key material of CNC NPs is the polydopamine (PDA), which, through self-assembling, forms a rigid shell that contains doxorubicin (DOX) and NIF fluorescent dye IR780 on the surface of the perfluorohexane (PFH) microbubbles. The results show that CNC NPs have a hollow core-shell structure with an average particle size of 97.3 ± 27.2 nm and have exceptional colloidal stability and photothermal conversion efficiency. The NPs can effectively perform cascade drug release through ultrasound triggering and pH responding. CNC NPs have good in vivo biological safety and excellent fluorescence imaging, drug delivery, and therapeutic abilities in the TNBC models. These results provide an experimental basis for the development of new clinical treatment methods for TNBC.

Abstract
Low-intensity ultrasound-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a promising noninvasive therapeutic modality due to its strong tissue penetration ability. In recent years, with the development of nanotechnology, nanoparticle-based sonosensitizer-mediated SDT has been widely investigated. With the increasing demand for precise and personalized treatment, abundant novel sonosensitizers with imaging capabilities have been developed for determining the optimal therapeutic window, thus significantly enhancing treatment efficacy. In this review, we focus on the molecular imaging-guided SDT. The prevalent mechanisms of SDT are discussed, including ultrasonic cavitation, sonoluminescence, reactive oxygen species, and mechanical damage. In addition, we introduce the major molecular imaging techniques and the design principles based on nanoparticles to achieve efficient imaging. Furthermore, the imaging-guided SDT for the treatment of cancer, bacterial infections, and vascular diseases is summarized. The ultimate goal is to design more effective imaging-guided SDT modalities and provide novel ideas for clinical translation of SDT.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) triggered by ultrasound (US) can overcome pivotal limitations of photo-therapy owing to its high depth-penetration and low phototoxicity. However, there is still a need to develop more efficient sonosensitizes to enhance the therapy efficiency. Methods: In this study, Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) are reduced on silicon nanowires (SiNWs) by in situ reduction to prepare Si-Pt nanocomposites (Si-Pt NCs). Results: Si-Pt NCs can produce reactive oxygen radicals (ROS) under ultrasound (US) irradiation, which have sonodynamic therapy (SDT) effect. Meanwhile, Si-Pt NCs can convert excess hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into ROS in the tumor microenvironment, which endow strong chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effect. Taking the advantages of the mesoporous structure of SiNWs, the SDT and CDT effects of Si-Pt NCs are stronger than those of the pure Pt NPs and SiNWs. Besides, the mild photothermal effect of Si-Pt NCs further improves the SDT&CDT activity and realizes the combined cancer therapy. Conclusion: The developed Si-Pt NCs with the ability of photothermal enhanced SDT/CDT combined therapy play a momentous role in the novel cancer treatment.

Abstract
The inevitable bleeding during tumor resection greatly increases the risk of tumor recurrence caused by metastasis of cancer cells with blood, and hemostasis and prevention of post-operation tumor recurrence is still a challenge. However, a biomaterials approach for rapid hemostasis during tumor resection and simultaneous prevention of tumor recurrence is rarely reported. Here, zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) nanoparticle-enhanced multinetwork cryogels are proposed which provide an integrated treatment regimen for rapid hemostasis through intraoperative blood trigger shape recovery and enhanced coagulation, and prevention of postoperative cancer recurrence via sonodynamic anticancer in a hepatocellular carcinoma model. A series of antibacterial shape memory multifunctional cryogels are synthesized based on glycidyl methacrylate-functionalized quaternized chitosan (QCSG), dopamine-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-DA), and hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME)-loaded dopamine-modified ZIF-8 (ZDH). Blood loss in different bleeding models confirms good hemostasis of ZIF-8 loading cryogels. Besides, in vitro tests confirm that QCSG/HA-DA/ZDH (QH/ZDH) cryogels significantly killed cancer cells by generating reactive oxygen species under ultrasound. Finally, significantly reduced tumor recurrence after the resection of ectopic hepatocellular carcinoma further confirms the good effect of QH/ZDH cryogels in preventing recurrence by a coordinated strategy of intraoperative hemostasis and postoperative sonodynamic therapy by pH-responsive HMME release, showing great potential in clinical application.

Abstract
Gas molecules with pharmaceutical effects offer emerging solutions to diseases. In addition to traditional medical gases including O2 and NO, more gases such as H2 , H2 S, SO2 , and CO have recently been discovered to play important roles in various diseases. Though some issues need to be addressed before clinical application, the increasing attention to gas therapy clearly indicates the potentials of these gases for disease treatment. The most important and difficult part of developing gas therapy systems is to transport gas molecules of high diffusibility and penetrability to interesting targets. Given the particular importance of gas molecule delivery for gas therapy, distinguished strategies have been explored to improve gas delivery efficiency and controllable gas release. Here, we summarize the strategies of therapeutic gas delivery for gas therapy, including direct gas molecule delivery by chemical and physical absorption, inorganic/organic/hybrid gas prodrugs, and natural/artificial/hybrid catalyst delivery for gas generation. The advantages and shortcomings of these gas delivery strategies are analyzed. On this basis, intelligent gas delivery strategies and catalysts use in future gas therapy are discussed. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) is notable in the medical field as a safe and effective imaging modality due to its lack of ionizing radiation, non-invasive approach, and real-time monitoring capability. Accompanying recent progress in nanomedicine, US has been providing hope of theranostic capability not only for imaging-based diagnosis but also for US-based therapy by taking advantage of the bioeffects induced by US. Cavitation, sonoporation, thermal effects, and other cascade effects stimulated by acoustic energy conversion have contributed to medical problem-solving in the past decades although to varying degrees of efficacy in comparisons to other methods. Recently, the usage of liposomes-based nanoplatform fuels the development of nanomedicine and provides novel clinical strategies for antitumor, thrombolysis, and controlled drug release. Merging of novel liposome-based nanoplatforms and US-induced reactions has promise for a new blueprint for future medicine. In the present review article, the value of liposome-based nanoplatforms in US-related diagnosis and therapy will be discussed and summarized along with potential future directions for further investigations.

Abstract
Many sensitizers have not only photodynamic effects, but also sonodynamic effects. Therefore, the combination of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) using sensitizers for sono-photodynamic therapy (SPDT) provides alternative opportunities for clinical cancer therapy. Although significant advances have been made in synthesizing new sensitizers for SPDT, few of them are successfully applied in clinical settings. The anti-tumor effects of the sensitizers are restricted by the lack of tumor-targeting specificity, incapability in deep intratumoral delivery, and the deteriorating tumor microenvironment. The application of nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems (NDDSs) can solve the above shortcomings, thereby improving the SPDT efficacy. This review summarizes various sensitizers as sono/photosensitizers that can be further used in SPDT, and describes different strategies for enhancing tumor treatment by NDDSs, such as overcoming biological barriers, improving tumor-targeted delivery and intratumoral delivery, providing stimuli-responsive controlled-release characteristics, stimulating anti-tumor immunity, increasing oxygen supply, employing different therapeutic modalities, and combining diagnosis and treatment. The challenges and prospects for further development of intelligent sensitizers and translational NDDSs for SPDT are also discussed.

Abstract
The development of novel sonosensitizers with outstanding reactive oxygen (ROS) generation capacity and great biocompatibility poses a significant challenge for the clinical practice of sonodynamic therapy (SDT). In this work, hemoglobin (Hb) with natural metalloporphyrin was first shown to possess great potential as a sonosensitizer. Compared with traditional organic sonosensitizers, Hb had satisfactory sono-sensitizing efficiency because four the porphyrin molecules were separated by four polypeptide chains. This effectively avoided the problem of low ROS quantum yield caused by the stacking of hydrophobic porphyrins. Meanwhile, Hb is an efficient and safe oxygen carrier that may release O2 at hypoxic tumors site, which improved tumor oxygenation and subsequently enhanced SDT efficacy. Therefore, Hb was integrated with zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) to form a nanoplatform that demonstrated a potent suppression effect on deep-seated tumors under ultrasound irradiation.
