Abstract
As a novel noninvasive tumor therapy, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) attracts booming concerns. However, the limited water solubility, inadequate biocompatibility, and low targeting ability of conventional sonosensitizers significantly hinder their potential for clinical application. Herein, novel zinc(II)-porphyrin nanotheranostics (HA@Zn-TCPP) were fabricated in which the zinc(II)-porphyrin (TCPP) metal-organic framework was first constructed by a simple thermal reaction, followed by the addition of hyaluronic acid (HA) for modification. The specific targeting ability of HA facilitated the internalization of HA@Zn-TCPP within tumor cells, resulting in its preferential accumulation in tumor tissues that exhibit CD44 receptor overexpression. The acidic tumor microenvironment induced the rapid decomposition of HA@Zn-TCPP, releasing free TCPP for activating SDT. This controllable generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) could effectively decrease damage to normal tissues. The HA@Zn-TCPP exhibited remarkable antitumor effects in experiments, achieving a tumor inhibition rate of up to 82.1% when under ultrasound. This finding provides an imperative strategy to develop novel sonosensitizers for enhanced SDT.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is closely associated with the development of various gastric diseases. The effectiveness of current clinical antibiotic therapy is hampered by the rise of drug-resistant strains and the formation of H. pylori biofilm. This paper reports a sonodynamic nanocomposite PtCu3-PDA@AIPH@Fucoidan (PPAF), which consists of dopamine-modified inorganic sonosensitizers PtCu3, alkyl radicals (R•) generator AIPH and fucoidan, can penetrate the mucus layer, target H. pylori, disrupt biofilms, and exhibit excellent bactericidal ability. In vitro experiments demonstrate that PPAF exhibits excellent acoustic kinetic properties, generating a significant amount of reactive oxygen species and oxygen-independent R• for sterilization under ultrasound stimulation. Simultaneously, the produced N2 can enhance the cavitation effect, aiding PPAF nanoparticles in penetrating the gastric mucus layer and disrupting biofilm integrity. This disruption allows more PPAF nanoparticles to bind to biofilm bacteria, facilitating the eradication of H. pylori. In vivo experiments demonstrate that ultrasound-stimulated PPAF exhibited significant antibacterial efficacy against H. pylori. Moreover, it effectively modulated the expression levels of inflammatory factors and maintained gastrointestinal microbiota stability when compared to the antibiotic treatment group. In summary, PPAF nanoparticles present a potential alternative to antibiotics, offering an effective and healthy option for treating H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), utilizing ultrasound (US) as the trigger, has gained popularity recently as a therapeutic approach with significant potential for treating various diseases. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), characterized by structural flexibility, are prominently emerging in the SDT realm as an innovative type of sonosensitizer, offering functional tunability and biocompatibility. However, due to the inherent limitations of MOFs, such as low reactivity to reactive oxygen species and challenges posed by the complex tumor microenvironment, MOF-based sonosensitizers with singular functions are unable to demonstrate the desired therapeutic efficacy and may pose risks of toxicity, limiting their biological applications to superficial tissues. MOFs generally possess distinctive crystalline structures and properties, and their controlled coordination environments provide a flexible platform for exploring structure-effect relationships and guiding the design and development of MOF-based nanomaterials to unlock their broader potential in biological fields. The primary focus of this paper is to summarize cases involving the modification of different MOF materials and the innovative strategies developed for various complex conditions. The paper outlines the diverse application areas of functionalized MOF-based sonosensitizers in tumor synergistic therapies, highlighting the extensive prospects of SDT. Additionally, challenges confronting SDT are briefly summarized to stimulate increased scientific interest in the practical application of MOFs and the successful clinical translation of SDT. Through these discussions, we strive to foster advancements that lead to early-stage clinical benefits for patients. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1. An overview for the progresses in SDT explored from a novel and fundamental perspective. 2. Different modification strategies to improve the MOFs-mediated SDT efficacy are provided. 3. Guidelines for the design of multifunctional MOFs-based sonosensitizers are offered. 4. Powerful tumor ablation potential is reflected in SDT-led synergistic therapies. 5. Future challenges in the field of MOFs-based SDT in clinical translation are suggested.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), due to its high malignant degree and strong invasion ability, leads to poor prognosis and easy recurrence, so effectively curbing the invasion of TNBC is the key to obtaining the ideal therapeutic effect. Herein, a therapeutic strategy is developed that curbs high invasions of TNBC by inhibiting cell physiological activity and disrupting tumor cell structural function to achieve the time and space dual-blockade. The time blockade is caused by the breakthrough of the tumor-reducing blockade based on the ferroptosis process and the oxidation-toxic free radicals generated by enhanced sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Meanwhile, alkyl radicals from 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochloride (AIPH) and 1O2 attacked the organelles of tumor cells under ultrasound (US), reducing the physiological activity of the cells. The attack of free radicals on the cytoskeleton, especially on the proteins of F-actin and its assembly pathway, achieves precise space blockade of TNBC. The damage to the cytoskeleton and the suppression of the repair process leads to a significant decline in the ability of tumor cells to metastasize and invade other organs. In summary, the FTM@AM nanoplatforms have a highly effective killing and invasion inhibition effect on invasive TNBC mediated by ultrasound, showcasing promising clinical transformation potential.

Abstract
Despite consecutive efforts devoted to the establishment of innovative therapeutics for cancer control, cancer remains as a primary global public health concern. Achieving controlled release of anti-cancer agents may add great value to the field of oncology that requires the involvement of nanotechnologies. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) hold great promise in this regard owing to their unique structural properties. MOFs can act as superior candidates for drug delivery given their porous structure and large loading area, and can be prepared into anti-cancer therapeutics by incorporating stimuli-sensitive components into the ligands or nodes of the framework. By combing through chemical and physical features of MOFs favorable for onco-therapeutic applications and current cancer treatment portfolios taking advantages of these characteristics, this review classified MOFs feasible for establishing controlled anti-cancer modalities into 6 categories, outlined the corresponding strategies currently available for each type of MOF, and identified understudied areas and future opportunities towards innovative MOF design for improved or expanded clinical anti-cancer applications.

Abstract
The advent of numerous treatment modalities with desirable therapeutic efficacy has been made possible by the fast development of nanomedicine and materdicine, among which the ultrasound (US)-triggered sonocatalytic process as minimal or non-invasive method has been frequently employed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In comparison to phototherapeutic approaches with inherent penetration depth limitations, sonocatalytic therapy shatters the depth limit of photoactivation and offers numerous remarkable prospects and advantages, including mitigated side effects and appropriate tissue-penetration depth. Nevertheless, the optimization of sonosensitizers and therapies remains a significant issue in terms of precision, intelligence and efficiency. In light of the fact that nanomedicine and materdicine can effectively enhance the theranostic efficiency, we herein aim to furnish a cutting-edge review on the latest progress and development of nanomedicine/materdicine-enabled sonocatalytic therapy. The design methodologies and biological features of nanomedicine/materdicine-based sonosensitizers are initially introduced to reveal the underlying relationship between composition/structure, sonocatalytic function and biological effect, in accompany with a thorough discussion of nanomedicine/materdicine-enabled synergistic therapy. Ultimately, the facing challenges and future perspectives of this intriguing sonocatalytic therapy are highlighted and outlined to promote technological advancements and clinical translation in efficient disease treatment.

Abstract
Intracellular redox homeostasis plays an important role in promoting tumor progression, development and even treatment resistance. To this end, redox balance impairment may become a prospective therapeutic target of cancer. Herein, a manganese-based homeostasis modulator (MHS) is developed for inducing severe reactive oxygen species accumulation and glutathione (GSH) deprivation, where such redox dyshomeostasis brings about dramatic ferroptosis/apoptosis. Tumor-specific degradation of manganese oxide nanocarriers contributes to hypoxia alleviation and loaded cargo release, resulting in apoptosis by augmented sonodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy. On the other hand, regional oxygenation significantly downregulates the expression of activating transcription factor 4, which can synergize with the released sulfasalazine to inhibit the downstream cystine antiporter xCT. Biosynthesis of GSH is sufficiently interrupted by the xCT suppression, leading to the reduction of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) level. The resultant excessive lipid peroxides promote intense ferroptosis to motivate cell death. On this basis, splendid treatment outcome by MHS is substantiated both in vitro and in vivo, thanks to the synergy of antitumor immunity elicitation. Taken together, this paradigm provides an insightful strategy to evoke drastic ferroptosis/apoptosis toward therapeutics and may also expand the eligibility of manganese-derived nanoagents for medical applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) combined with sonodynamic therapy (SDT) have been introduced as a new and efficient treatment method. The critical advantage of SDT is its ability to penetrate deep tissues and concentrate energy on the tumor site to achieve a non-invasive or minimally invasive effect. Using a sonosensitizer to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under ultrasound is the primary SDT-related method of killing tumor cells. In the presence of a sonosensitizer, SDT exhibits a more lethal effect on tumors. The fast development of micro/nanotechnology has effectively improved the efficiency of SDT, and MOFs have been broadly evaluated in SDT due to their easy synthesis, easy surface functionalization, high porosity, and high biocompatibility. This article reviews the main mechanism of action of sonodynamic therapy in cancer treatment, and also reviews the applications of MOFs in recent years. The application of MOFs in sonodynamic therapy can effectively improve the targeting ability of SDT and the conversion ability of reactive oxygen species, thus improving their killing ability on cancer cells. This provides new ideas for the application of micro/nano particles in SDT and cancer therapy.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging non-invasive cancer treatment method in the field of nanomedicine, which has the advantages of deep penetration, good therapeutic efficacy, and minimal damage to normal tissues. Sonosensitizers play a crucial role in the process of SDT, as their structure and properties directly determine the treatment outcome. Inorganic sonosensitizers, with their high stability and longer circulation time in the human body, have great potential in SDT. In this review, the possible mechanisms of SDT including the ultrasonic cavitation, reactive oxygen species generation, and activation of immunity are briefly discussed. Then, the latest research progress on inorganic sonosensitizers is systematically summarized. Subsequently, strategies for optimizing treatment efficacy are introduced, including combination therapy and image-guided therapy. The challenges and future prospects of sonodynamic therapy are discussed. It is hoped that this review will provide some guidance for the screening of inorganic sonosensitizers.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a novel therapeutic approach based on Fenton (Fenton-like) reaction, has been widely employed for tumor therapy. This approach utilizes Fe, Cu, or other metal ions (Mn, Zn, Co, or Mo) to react with the excess hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor microenvironments (TME), and form highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) to kill cancer cells. Recently, nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) have attracted considerable attention as promising CDT agents with the rapid development of cancer CDT. This review focuses on summarizing the latest advances (2020-2022) on the design of nMOFs as nanomedicine for CDT or combination therapy of CDT and other therapies. The future development and challenges of CDT are also proposed based on recent progress. Our group hopes that this review will enlighten the research and development of nMOFs for CDT.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly malignant tumor with an extremely poor prognosis and low survival rate. Due to its inconspicuous symptoms, PDAC is difficult to diagnose early. Most patients are diagnosed in the middle and late stages, losing the opportunity for surgery. Chemotherapy is the main treatment in clinical practice and improves the survival of patients to some extent. However, the improved prognosis is associated with higher side effects, and the overall prognosis is far from satisfactory. In addition to resistance to chemotherapy, PDAC is significantly resistant to targeted therapy and immunotherapy. The failure of multiple treatment modalities indicates great dilemmas in treating PDAC, including high molecular heterogeneity, high drug resistance, an immunosuppressive microenvironment, and a dense matrix. Nanomedicine shows great potential to overcome the therapeutic barriers of PDAC. Through the careful design and rational modification of nanomaterials, multifunctional intelligent nanosystems can be obtained. These nanosystems can adapt to the environment's needs and compensate for conventional treatments' shortcomings. This review is focused on recent advances in the use of well-designed nanosystems in different therapeutic modalities to overcome the PDAC treatment dilemma, including a variety of novel therapeutic modalities. Finally, these nanosystems' bottlenecks in treating PDAC and the prospect of future clinical translation are briefly discussed.

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
Biofilms are physical barriers composed of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that enable planktonic bacteria to resist host responses and antibacterial treatments, complicating efforts to clear bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and thereby contributing to persistently chronic infections. As such, it is critical to develop a robust antimicrobial strategy capable of effectively eradicating P. aeruginosa biofilms and to further address aggressive clinical infection. In this study, ultrasound-activatable targeted nanoparticles were designed by using poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles to encapsulate phase-transformable perfluoropentane (PFP) and the antibiotic meropenem via a double emulsion approach, followed by conjugation with anti-P. aeruginosa antibodies. In this strategy, ultrasound exposure can trigger PFP to produce microbubbles, inducing ultrasonic cavitation effects that can disrupt EPS components and allow nanoparticles to release meropenem to kill P. aeruginosa directly and accelerate the associated wound healing. These nanoparticles eradicated biofilms effectively and cleared bacteria in vitro as well as exhibited potent anti-infective activity in vivo. In summary, this study demonstrates the efficacy of a sonobactericidal strategy as a means of effectively and reliably eliminating biofilms.

Abstract
Background Pancreatic cancer remains among the most prevalent and aggressive forms of cancer. While immunotherapeutic treatment strategies have shown some promise in affected patients, the benefits of these interventions have been limited by insufficient tumor infiltration by activated T cells. Results Here, Titanium diselenide (TiSe2) nanosheets were synthesized with good stability. When exposed to ultrasound (US), the TiSe2 nanosheets served as a reliable nano-sensitizer capable of inducing large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediating sonodynamic therapy (SDT) under hypoxic and normoxic conditions. The tumor-released TAAs induced by TiSe2 nanosheet-mediated SDT promoted immunogenic cell death (ICD) conducive to the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), and cytokine secretion and the subsequent activation and infiltration of T cells into the tumor. Combining TiSe2-mediated SDT with anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade treatment led to the efficient suppression of the growth of both primary tumor and distant tumor, while simultaneously preventing lung metastasis. These improved immunotherapeutic and anti-metastatic outcomes were associated with activated systematic antitumor immune responses, including the higher levels of DC maturation and cytokine secretion, the increased levels of CD8+ T cells and the decreased levels of Treg cells infiltrated in tumors. Conclusion TiSe2 can be used as a sonosensitizer with good efficacy and high safety to mediate efficient SDT. The combination treatment strategy comprised of TiSe2-mediated SDT and PD-1 blockade activate anti-tumor immune responses effectively thorough inducing ICD, resulting in the inhibition the growth and metastasis of tumor. The combination therapy holds promise as a novel immunotherapy-based intervention strategy for pancreatic cancer patients.

Abstract
The efficacy of free radical-based therapeutic strategies is severely hindered by nonspecific accumulation, premature release and glutathione (GSH) scavenging effects. Herein, a tumor microenvironment-responsive MPDA/AIPH@Cu-TA@HA (abbreviated as MACTH) nanoplatform was constructed by coating Cu2+ and tannic acid (TA) on the surface of azo initiator (AIPH)-loaded mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) nanoparticles and further modifying them with hyaluronic acid (HA) to achieve tumor-specific photothermal/thermodynamic/chemodynamic synergistic therapy (PTT/TDT/CDT). Once accumulated and internalized into cancer cells through CD44 receptor-mediated active targeting and endocytosis, the HA shell of MACTH would be preliminarily degraded by hyaluronidase (HAase) to expose the Cu-TA metal-phenolic networks, which would further dissociate in response to an acidic lysosomal environment, leading to HAase/pH dual-responsive release of Cu2+ and AIPH. On the one hand, the released Cu2+ could deplete the overexpressed GSH via redox reactions and produce Cu+, which in turn catalyzes endogenous H2O2 into highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) for CDT. On the other hand, the local hyperthermia generated by MACTH under 808 nm laser irradiation could not only augment CDT efficacy through accelerating the Cu+-mediated Fenton-like reaction, but also trigger the decomposition of AIPH to produce biotoxic alkyl radicals (˙R) for TDT. The consumption of GSH and accumulation of oxygen-independent free radicals (˙OH/˙R) synergistically amplified intracellular oxidative stress, resulting in substantial apoptotic cell death and significant tumor growth inhibition. Collectively, this study provides a promising paradigm for customizing stimuli-responsive free radical-based nanoplatforms to achieve accurate and efficacious cancer treatment.

Acta Biomater 2022; 151:480-490.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important signal molecules and imbalanced ROS level could lead to cell death. Elevated ROS levels in tumor tissues offer an opportunity to design ROS-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) or ROS-based cancer therapy such as chemodynamic therapy. However, their anticancer efficacies are hampered by the ROS-consuming nature of these DDSs as well as the high concentration of reductive agents like glutathione (GSH). Here we developed a doxorubicin (DOX)-incorporated iron coordination polymer nanoparticle (PCFD) for efficient chemo-chemodynamic cancer therapy by using a cinnamaldehyde (CA)-based ROS-replenishing organic ligand (TCA). TCA can ROS-responsively release CA to supplement intracellular ROS and deplete GSH by a thiol-Michael addition reaction, which together with DOX-triggered ROS upregulation and Fe3+-enabled GSH depletion facilitated efficient DOX release and enhanced Fenton reaction, thereby inducing redox dyshomeostasis and cancer cell death in a concurrent apoptosis-ferroptosis way. Both in vitro and in vivo study revealed that ROS-replenishing PCFD exhibited much better anticancer effect than ROS-consuming control nanoparticle PAFD. The ingenious ROS-replenishing strategy could be expanded to construct versatile ROS-responsive DDSs and ROS-based nanomedicines with potentiated anticancer activity. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We develop a doxorubicin (DOX)-incorporated iron coordination polymer nanoparticle (PCFD) for efficient chemo-chemodynamic cancer therapy by using a cinnamaldehyde-based reactive oxygen species (ROS)-replenishing organic ligand. This functional ligand can ROS-responsively release cinnamaldehyde to supplement intracellular H2O2 and deplete glutathione (GSH) by a thiol-Michael addition reaction, which together with DOX-triggered ROS upregulation and Fe3+-enabled GSH depletion facilitates efficient DOX release and enhanced Fenton reaction, thereby inducing redox dyshomeostasis and cancer cell death in a concurrent apoptosis-ferroptosis way. Both in vitro and in vivo study reveal that ROS-replenishing PCFD exhibit much better anticancer effect than ROS consuming counterpart. This study provides a facile and straightforward strategy to design ROS amplifying nanoplatforms for cancer treatment.

Abstract
All intravenous delivered nanomedicine needs to escape from the blood vessel to exert their therapeutic efficacy at their designated site of action. Failure to do so increases the possibility of detrimental side effects and negates their therapeutic intent. Many powerful anticancer nanomedicine strategies rely solely on the tumor derived enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect for the only mode of escaping from the tumor vasculature. However, not all tumors have the EPR effect nor can the EPR effect be induced or controlled for its location and timeliness. In recent years, there have been exciting developments along the lines of inducing endothelial leakiness at the tumor to decrease the dependence of EPR. Physical disruption of the endothelial-endothelial cell junctions with coordinated biological intrinsic pathways have been proposed that includes various modalities like ultrasound, radiotherapy, heat and even nanoparticles, appear to show good progress towards the goal of inducing endothelial leakiness. This review explains the intricate and complex biological background behind the endothelial cells with linkages on how updated reported nanomedicine strategies managed to induce endothelial leakiness. This review will also end off with fresh insights on where the future of inducible endothelial leakiness holds.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of important porous, crystalline materials composed of metal ions (clusters) and organic ligands. Owing to the unique redox chemistry, photochemical and electrical property, and catalytic activity of Cu2+/+, copper-based MOFs (Cu-MOFs) have been recently and extensively explored in various biomedical fields. In this review, we first make a brief introduction to the synthesis of Cu-MOFs and their composites, and highlight the recent synthetic strategies of two most studied representatives, three-dimensional HKUST-1 and two-dimensional Cu-TCPP. The recent advances of Cu-MOFs in the applications of cancer treatment, bacterial inhibition, biosensing, biocatalysis, and wound healing are summarized and discussed. Furthermore, we propose a prospect of the future development of Cu-MOFs in biomedical fields and beyond.

Abstract
Tumor immunotherapy has emerged as a promising approach to tumor treatment. Currently, immune adjuvant-based therapeutic modalities are rarely curative in solid tumors owing to challenges including the low permeability and extremely poor water solubility of these adjuvants, limiting their ability to effectively promote dendritic cell (DC) maturation. Herein, we employed ultrasound-mediated cavitation (UMC) to promote the delivery of Toll-like receptor agonist (R837)-loaded pH-responsive liposomes (PEOz-Lip@R837) to tumors. The tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) produced by UMC treatment exhibited vaccinal activity, particularly in the presence of immune adjuvants, together promoting the maturation of DC and inducing cytokine production. Importantly, UMC can down-regulate immune checkpoint molecules, like Cd274, Foxp3 and Ctla4, synergistically stimulating the activation and proliferation of T cells in the body to facilitate tumor treatment. This UMC-enhanced PEOz-Lip@R837 approach was able to induce a robust antitumor immune response capable of arresting primary and distant tumor growth, while also developing immunological memory, protecting against tumor rechallenge following initial tumor clearance. Overall, these results highlight a promising UMC- and pH-sensitive immune adjuvant delivery-based treatment for tumors with the potential for clinical application.

Cavitation assisted endoplasmic reticulum targeted sonodynamic droplets to enhanced anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:283.

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
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) typically suffers from compromised anticancer efficacy owing to the low reactive oxygen species (ROS) yield and complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) which can consume ROS and support the occurrence and development of tumors. Herein, ultrathin-FeOOH-coated MnO2 nanospheres (denoted as MO@FHO) as sonosensitizers which can not only facilitate ultrasound (US)-triggered ROS but also tune the TME by hypoxia alleviation, H2 O2 consumption as well as glutathione (GSH) depletion are designed. The FeOOH coating will boost the production yield of singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) and hydroxyl radicals (• OH) by inhibiting the recombination of US-initiated electron-hole pairs and Fenton-like reaction, respectively. Additionally, the catalase-like and GSH peroxidase-like activities of MO@FHO nanospheres enable them to break the TME equilibrium via hypoxia alleviation and GSH depletion. The combination of high ROS yield and fundamental destruction of TME equilibrium results in satisfactory antitumor outcomes, as demonstrated by the high tumor suppression efficacy of MO@FHO on MDA-MB-231-tumor-bearing mice. No obvious toxicity is detected to normal tissues at therapeutic doses in vivo. The capability to modulate the ROS production and TME simultaneously can afford new probability for the development of advanced sonosensitizers for synergistic comprehensive cancer therapy.

Abstract
Immunotherapeutic interventions represent a promising approach to treating cancer, with strategies such as immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), immunogenic sonodynamic therapy (SDT), and immune adjuvant T cell delivery having exhibited clinical promise. In this report, we describe the use of cancer cell membrane-coated triphenylphosphonium (TPP) decorated nano-metal-organic framework (nMOF) constructs [Zr-TCPP(TPP)/R837@M] that were used to generate homologous, mitochondria-targeted platforms with a high rate of sonosensitizer loading. This construct was utilized to simultaneously promote tumor antigen presentation via enhancing SDT while synergistically promoting dendritic cell (DC) maturation through the delivery of the Toll-like receptor agonist R837. In vitro, these functionalized nMOFs were readily internalized by homologous tumor cells in which they were efficiently targeted to the mitochondria, promoting DC activation through the induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) following ultrasound exposure. Moreover, this nanoplatform was able to achieve in vivo synergy with anti-CTLA-4 ICB to reverse immunosuppression tumor microenvironment (TME), thus achieving more robust antitumor efficacy capable of suppressing metastatic disease progression and facilitating the development of durable antitumor memory responses. Together, these results highlight a promising approach to achieving enhanced SDT activity while overcoming an immunosuppressive TME, thereby achieving more robust antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Upon harnessing low-intensity ultrasound to activate sonosensitizers, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) induces cancer cell death through the reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated pathway. Compared with photodynamic therapy (PDT), SDT possesses numerous advantages, including deeper tissue penetration, higher accuracy, fewer side effects, and better patient compliance. Sinoporphyrin sodium (DVDMS), a sonosensitizer approved by the FDA, has drawn abundant attention in clinical research, but there are some deficiencies. In order to further improve the efficiency of DVDMS, many studies have applied self-assembly nanotechnology to modify it. Furthermore, the combined applications of SDT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT) have become a research hotspot in tumor therapy. Therefore, we explored the self-assembly of nanoparticles based on DVDMS and copper to combine SDT and CDT. A cost-effective sonosensitizer was synthesized by dropping CuCl2 into the DVDMS solution with the assistance of PVP. The results revealed that the nanostructures could exert excellent treatment effects on tumor therapy and perform well for PET imaging, indicating the potential for cancer theranostics. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the nanoparticles have outstanding biocompatibility, higher ROS production efficiency, and antitumor efficacy. We believe this design can represent a simple approach to combining SDT and CDT with potential applications in clinical treatment and PET imaging.

Abstract
The biological effects of ultrasound may be classified into thermal and nonthermal mechanisms. The nonthermal effects may be further classified into cavitational and noncavitational mechanisms. DNA damage induced by ultrasound is considered to be related to nonthermal cavitations. For this aspect, many in vitro studies on DNA have been conducted for evaluating the safety of diagnostic ultrasound, particularly in fetal imaging. Technological advancement in detecting DNA damage both in vitro and in vivo have elucidated the mechanism of DNA damage formation and their cellular response. Damage to DNA, and the residual damages after DNA repair are implicated in the biological effects. Here, we discuss the historical evidence of ultrasound on DNA damage and the mechanism of DNA damage formation both in vitro and in vivo, compared with those induced by ionizing radiation. We also offer a commentary on the safety of ultrasound over X-ray-based imaging. Also, understanding the various mechanisms involved in the bioeffects of ultrasound will lead us to alternative strategies for use of ultrasound for therapy.

Abstract
Traditional oncological interventions have failed to improve survival for pancreatic cancer patients significantly. Novel treatment modalities able to release cancer-specific antigens, render immunologically "cold" pancreatic tumours "hot" and disrupt or reprogram the pancreatic tumour microenvironment are thus urgently needed. Therapeutic focused ultrasound exerts thermal and mechanical effects on tissue, killing cancer cells and inducing an anti-cancer immune response. The most important advances in therapeutic focused ultrasound use for initiation and augmentation of the cancer immunity cycle against pancreatic cancer are described. We provide a comprehensive review of the use of therapeutic focused ultrasound for the treatment of pancreatic cancer patients and describe recent studies that have shown an ultrasound-induced anti-cancer immune response in several tumour models. Published studies that have investigated the immunological effects of therapeutic focused ultrasound in pancreatic cancer are described. This article shows that therapeutic focused ultrasound has been deemed to be a safe technique for treating pancreatic cancer patients, providing pain relief and improving survival rates in pancreatic cancer patients. Promotion of an immune response in the clinic and sensitisation of tumours to the effects of immunotherapy in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer is shown, making it a promising candidate for use in the clinic.

Abstract
Clinically, steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is always prolonged and difficult to treat and easily develops into end-stage renal disease, resulting in a low survival rate. Strategies to reverse steroid resistance and reduce the long-term use of high doses of steroid medicines are urgently needed. In this study, a novel nanoparticle drug system (Pm-GCH) with a core–shell structure was designed. Metal–organic frameworks, synthesized by glycyrrhizic acid (G) and calcium ions (Ca2+) loaded with hydrocortisone (H) were the core of the nanoparticles. Platelet membrane vesicles were the shells. The natural platelet membrane endows Pm-GCH with good biocompatibility and the ability to promote immune escape. In addition, under the chemotaxis of inflammatory factors, platelet membranes assist Pm-GCH in nonspecific targeting of the inflammatory sites of the kidney. Under an inflammatory acid environment, GCH slowly degrades and releases glycyrrhizic acid and hydrocortisone. Glycyrrhizic acid inhibits the inactivation of hydrocortisone, jointly inhibits the activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and the classic activation pathway of complement C2, blocks the production of inflammatory factors, plays an anti-inflammatory role, and enhances the efficacy of hydrocortisone in the treatment of SRNS. Moreover, glycyrrhizic acid alleviates osteoporosis induced by long-term use of glucocorticoids. These results indicate that Pm-GCH is a promising treatment strategy for SRNS. ![]()
