Abstract
Neurological diseases are a major global health challenge, affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Ultrasound therapy plays an irreplaceable role in the treatment of neurological diseases due to its noninvasive, highly focused, and strong tissue penetration capabilities. However, the complexity of brain and nervous system and the safety risks associated with prolonged exposure to ultrasound therapy severely limit the applicability of ultrasound therapy. Ultrasound-sensitive intelligent nanosystems (USINs) are a novel therapeutic strategy for neurological diseases that bring greater spatiotemporal controllability and improve safety to overcome these challenges. This review provides a detailed overview of therapeutic strategies and clinical advances of ultrasound in neurological diseases, focusing on the potential of USINs-based ultrasound in the treatment of neurological diseases. Based on the physical and chemical effects induced by ultrasound, rational design of USINs is a prerequisite for improving the efficacy of ultrasound therapy. Recent developments of ultrasound-sensitive nanocarriers and nanoagents are systemically reviewed. Finally, the challenges and developing prospects of USINs are discussed in depth, with a view to providing useful insights and guidance for efficient ultrasound treatment of neurological diseases.

Abstract
Controlled drug release of nanoparticles was achieved by irreversibly disrupting polymer micelles through high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) induction. An ultrasound-responsive block copolymer was synthesized, comprising an end-functional Eosin Y fluorophore, 2-tetrahydropyranyl acrylate (THPA), and acrylate mannose (MAN). The block copolymer was then self-assembled to produce micelles. The chemotherapy drug dasatinib (DAS) and the sonodynamic therapy agent methylene blue (MB) were encapsulated by the self-assembly of the block copolymer. This targeted nanoparticle enables sonodynamic therapy through high-intensity focused ultrasound while triggering nanoparticle disassembly for controlled drug release. The ultrasound-mediated, non-invasive strategy provides external spatiotemporal control for targeted tumour treatment.

Abstract
Advances in vat photopolymerization (VP) 3D printing (3DP) technology enable the production of highly precise 3D objects. However, it is a major challenge to create dynamic functionalities and to manipulate the physical properties of the inherently insoluble and infusible cross-linked material generated from VP-3DP without reproduction. The fabrication of light- and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)-responsive cross-linked polymeric materials linked with hexaarylbiimidazole (HABI) in polymer chains based on VP-3DP is reported here. Although the photochemistry of HABI produces triphenylimidazolyl radicals (TPIRs) during the process of VP-3DP, the orthogonality of the photochemistry of HABI and photopolymerization enables the introduction of reversible cross-links derived from HABIs in the resulting 3D-printed objects. While photostimulation cleaves a covalent bond between two imidazoles in HABI to generate TPIRs only near the surface of the 3D-printed objects, HIFU triggers cleavage in the interior of materials. In addition, HIFU travels beyond an obstacle to induce a response of HABI-embedded cross-linked polymers, which cannot be attainable with photostimulation. The present system would be beneficial for tuning the physical properties and recycling of various polymeric materials, but it will also open the door for pinpoint modification, healing, and reshaping of materials when coupled to various dynamic covalent materials.

Abstract
Mechanoresponsive drug delivery systems (DDS) have emerged as promising candidates to improve the current effectiveness and lower the side effects typically associated with direct drug administration in the context of vascular diseases. Despite tremendous research efforts to date, designing drug delivery systems able to respond to mechanical stimuli to potentially treat these diseases is still in its infancy. By understanding relevant biological forces emerging in healthy and pathological vascular endothelium, it is believed that better-informed design strategies can be deduced for the fabrication of simple-to-complex macromolecular assemblies capable of sensing mechanical forces. These responsive systems are discussed through insights into essential parameter design (composition, size, shape, and aggregation state) , as well as their functionalization with (macro)molecules that are intrinsically mechanoresponsive (e.g., mechanosensitive ion channels and mechanophores). Mechanical forces, including the pathological shear stress and exogenous stimuli (e.g., ultrasound, magnetic fields), used for the activation of mechanoresponsive DDS are also introduced, followed by in vitro and in vivo experimental models used to investigate and validate such novel therapies. Overall, this review aims to propose a fresh perspective through identified challenges and proposed solutions that could be of benefit for the further development of this exciting field.

Abstract
The application of biocompatible nanocarriers in medicine has provided several benefits over conventional treatment methods. However, achieving high treatment efficacy and deep penetration of nanocarriers in tumor tissue is still challenging. To address this, stimuli-responsive nano-sized drug delivery systems (DDSs) are an active area of investigation in delivering anticancer drugs. While ultrasound is mainly used for diagnostic purposes, it can also be applied to affect cellular function and the delivery/release of anticancer drugs. Therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) has shown potential as both a stand-alone anticancer treatment and a method to induce targeted drug release from nanocarrier systems. TUS approaches have been used to overcome various physiological obstacles, including endothelial barriers, the tumor microenvironment (TME), and immunological hurdles. Combining nanomedicine and ultrasound as a smart DDS can increase in situ drug delivery and improve access to impermeable tissues. Furthermore, smart DDSs can perform targeted drug release in response to distinctive TMEs, external triggers, or dual/multi-stimulus. This results in enhanced treatment efficacy and reduced damage to surrounding healthy tissue or organs at risk. Integrating DDSs and ultrasound is still in its early stages. More research and clinical trials are required to fully understand ultrasound's underlying physical mechanisms and interactions with various types of nanocarriers and different types of cells and tissues. In the present review, ultrasound-mediated nano-sized DDS, specifically focused on cancer treatment, is presented and discussed. Ultrasound interaction with nanoparticles (NPs), drug release mechanisms, and various types of ultrasound-sensitive NPs are examined. Additionally, in vitro, in vivo, and clinical applications of TUS are reviewed in light of the critical challenges that need to be considered to advance TUS toward an efficient, secure, straightforward, and accessible cancer treatment. This study also presents effective TUS parameters and safety considerations for this treatment modality and gives recommendations about system design and operation. Finally, future perspectives are considered, and different TUS approaches are examined and discussed in detail. This review investigates drug release and delivery through ultrasound-mediated nano-sized cancer treatment, both pre-clinically and clinically.

Abstract
Nearly 20% of HER2-positive breast cancers develop resistance to HER2-targeted therapies requiring the use of advanced therapies. Silencing RNA therapy may be a powerful modality for treating resistant HER2 cancers due to its high specificity and low toxicity. However, the systemic administration of siRNAs requires a safe and efficient delivery platform because of siRNA's low stability in physiological fluids, inefficient cellular uptake, immunoreactivity, and rapid clearance. We have developed theranostic polymeric vesicles to overcome these hurdles for encapsulation and delivery of small functional molecules and PARP1 siRNA for in vivo delivery to breast cancer tumors. The 100 nm polymer vesicles were assembled from biodegradable and non-ionic poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone)14-block-poly(dimethylsiloxane)47-block-poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone)14 triblock copolymer PVPON14-PDMS47-PVPON14 using nanoprecipitation and thin-film hydration. We demonstrated that the vesicles assembled from the copolymer covalently tagged with the Cy5.5 fluorescent dye for in vivo imaging could also encapsulate the model drug with high loading efficiency (40%). The dye-loaded vesicles were accumulated in tumors after 18 h circulation in 4TR breast tumor-bearing mice via passive targeting. We found that PARP1 siRNA encapsulated into the vesicles was released intact (13%) into solution by the therapeutic ultrasound treatment as quantified by gel electrophoresis. The PARP1 siRNA-loaded polymersomes inhibited the proliferation of MDA-MB-361TR cells by 34% after 6 days of treatment by suppressing the NF-kB signaling pathway, unlike their scrambled siRNA-loaded counterparts. Finally, the treatment by PARP1 siRNA-loaded vesicles prolonged the survival of the mice bearing 4T1 breast cancer xenografts, with the 4-fold survival increase, unlike the untreated mice after 3 weeks following the treatment. These biodegradable, non-ionic PVPON14-PDMS47-PVPON14 polymeric nanovesicles capable of the efficient encapsulation and delivery of PARP1 siRNA to successfully knock down PARP1 in vivo can provide an advanced platform for the development of precision-targeted therapeutic carriers, which could help develop highly effective drug delivery nanovehicles for breast cancer gene therapy.

Abstract
pH/temperature dual-responsive hybrid micelles were prepared for constructing a double-locked drug delivery system. The temperature-sensitive polyethylene glycol-poly(tetrahydropyranylmethacrylate)-polyethylene glycol (PEG-PTHPMA-PEG) triblock copolymers were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization and amide coupling reaction. pH-sensitive poly(2-(diisopropylamino ethylmethacrylate)-polyethylene glycol (PDPA-PEG) diblock polymers were introduced, which could self-assemble with PEG-PTHPMA-PEG in aqueous solutions to form hybrid micelles. The anticancer drug doxorubicin, which was encapsulated in the core of the hybrid micelles, could be released only under simultaneous stimulations of pH and temperature. It was proved that the micelles could maintain their structural stability under a unilateral stimulus, while the structure collapsed and recombined under a double stimulus, which triggered a large amount of drug release. Furthermore, the excellent biocompatibility and dual sensitivity of the vector were also proved by cytotoxicity experiments. The dual-responsive hybrid micelles designed here showed the advantages of a double insurance lock of drug leakage and precise controllability of drug release, which could act as accurate drug delivery systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Existing cancer treatment methods have many undesirable side effects that greatly reduce the quality of life of cancer patients. OBJECTIVE This review will focus on the use of ultrasound-responsive liposomes and polymeric micelles in cancer therapy. METHODS This review presents a survey of the literature regarding ultrasound-triggered micelles and liposomes using articles recently published in various journals, as well as some new patents in this field. RESULTS Nanoparticles have proven promising as cancer theranostic tools. Nanoparticles are selective in nature, have reduced toxicity, and controllable drug release patterns making them ideal carriers for anticancer drugs. Numerous nanocarriers have been designed to combat malignancies, including liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, solid nanoparticles, quantum dots, gold nanoparticles, and, more recently, metal-organic frameworks. The temporal and spatial release of therapeutic agents from these nanostructures can be controlled using internal and external triggers, including pH, enzymes, redox, temperature, magnetic and electromagnetic waves, and ultrasound. Ultrasound is an attractive modality because it is non-invasive, can be focused on the diseased site, and has a synergistic effect with anticancer drugs. CONCLUSION The functionalization of micellar and liposomal surfaces with targeting moieties and the use of ultrasound as a triggering mechanism can help improve the selectivity and enable the spatiotemporal control of drug release from nanocarriers.

To overcome this challenge, an ideal treatment strategy would be to selectively control the release or regulate the activity of drugs to minimize the undesirable toxicity. Recently, ultrasound (US)-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) have attracted significant attention due to the non-invasiveness, high tissue penetration depth, and spatiotemporal controllability of US. Moreover, the US-induced mechanical force has been proven to be a robust method to site-selectively rearrange or cleave bonds in mechanochemistry. This review describes the US-activated DDSs from the fundamental basics and aims to present a comprehensive summary of the current understanding of US-responsive DDSs for controlled drug release and drug activation. First, we summarize the typical mechanisms for US-responsive drug release and drug activation. Second, the main factors affecting the ultrasonic responsiveness of drug carriers are outlined. Furthermore, representative examples of US-controlled drug release and drug activation are discussed, emphasizing their novelty and design principles. Finally, the challenges and an outlook on this promising therapeutic strategy are discussed.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has been investigated for decades, and it has provided promising results in preclinical studies. The most important issue that hinders researchers from advancing to clinical studies is the delivery system for immunotherapy agents, such as antigens, adjuvants and agonists, and the activation of these agents at the tumour site. Polymers are among the most versatile materials for a variety of treatments and diagnostics, and some polymers are reactive to either endogenous or exogenous stimuli. Utilizing this advantage, researchers have been developing novel and effective polymeric nanomaterials that can deliver immunotherapeutic moieties. In this review, we summarized recent works on stimuli-responsive polymeric nanomaterials that deliver antigens, adjuvants and agonists to tumours for immunotherapy purposes.

Abstract
![]()
Smart materials can
respond to stimuli and adapt their responses
based on external cues from their environments. Such behavior requires
a way to transport energy efficiently and then convert it for use
in applications such as actuation, sensing, or signaling. Ultrasound
can carry energy safely and with low losses through complex and opaque
media. It can be localized to small regions of space and couple to
systems over a wide range of time scales. However, the same characteristics
that allow ultrasound to propagate efficiently through materials make
it difficult to convert acoustic energy into other useful forms. Recent
work across diverse fields has begun to address this challenge, demonstrating
ultrasonic effects that provide control over physical and chemical
systems with surprisingly high specificity. Here, we review recent
progress in ultrasound–matter interactions, focusing on effects
that can be incorporated as components in smart materials. These techniques
build on fundamental phenomena such as cavitation, microstreaming,
scattering, and acoustic radiation forces to enable capabilities such
as actuation, sensing, payload delivery, and the initiation of chemical
or biological processes. The diversity of emerging techniques holds
great promise for a wide range of smart capabilities supported by
ultrasound and poses interesting questions for further investigations.

Abstract
In the past few years, we have demonstrated the efficacy of a nanoparticle system, super carbonate apatite (sCA), for the in vivo delivery of siRNA/miRNA. Intravenous injection of sCA loaded with small RNAs results in safe, high tumor delivery in mouse models. To further improve the efficiency of tumor delivery and avoid liver toxicity, we successfully developed an inorganic nanoparticle device (iNaD) via high-frequency ultrasonic pulverization combined with PEG blending during the production of sCA. Compared to sCA loaded with 24 μg of miRNA, systemic administration of iNaD loaded with 0.75 μg of miRNA demonstrated similar delivery efficiency to mouse tumors with little accumulation in the liver. In the mouse therapeutic model, iNaD loaded with 3 μg of the tumor suppressor small RNA MIRTX resulted in an improved anti-tumor effect compared to sCA loaded with 24 μg. Our findings on the bio-distribution and therapeutic effect of iNaD provide new perspectives for future nanomedicine engineering.

Abstract
Biocompatible nanosystems based on polymeric materials are promising drug delivery nanocarrier candidates for antitumor therapy. However, the efficacy is unsatisfying due to nonspecific accumulation and drug release of the nanoparticles in normal tissue. Recently, the nanosystems that can be triggered by tumor-specific stimuli have drawn great interest for drug delivery applications due to their controllable drug release properties. In this review, various polymers and external stimuli that can be employed to develop stimuli-responsive polymeric nanosystems are discussed, and finally, we delineate the challenges in designing this kind of Nanomedicine to improve the therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Serve side effects caused by discriminate damage of chemotherapeutic drugs to normal cell and cancer cells remain a main obstacle in clinic. Hence, continuous efforts have been made to find ways to effectively enhance drug delivery and reduce side effects. Recent decades have witnessed impressive progresses in fighting against cancer, with improved understanding of tumor microenvironment and rapid development in nanoscale drug delivery system (DDS). Nanocarriers based on biocompatible materials provide possibilities to improve antitumor efficiency and minimize off-target effects. Among all kinds of biocompatible materials applied in DDS, polymeric acrylic derivatives such as poly(acrylamide), poly(acrylic acid), poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) present inherent biocompatibility and stimuli-responsivity, and relatively easy to be functionalized. Furthermore, nanocarrier based on polymeric acrylic derivatives have demonstrated high drug encapsulation, improved uptake efficiency, prolonged circulation time and satisfactory therapeutic outcome in tumor. In this review, we aim to discuss recent progress in design and development of stimulus-responsive poly acrylic polymer based nanocarriers for tumor targeting drug delivery.

Abstract
Ultrasound-responsive polymeric materials have received a tremendous amount of attention from scientists for several decades. Compared to other stimuli-responsive materials (such as UV-, thermal-, and pH-responsive materials), these smart materials are more applicable since they allow more efficient drug delivery and targeted treatment by fairly non-invasive means. This review describes the recent advances of such ultrasound-responsive polymer-based drug delivery systems and illustrates various applications. More specifically, the mechanism of ultrasound-induced drug delivery, typical formulations, and biomedical applications (tumor therapy, disruption of blood-brain barrier, fighting infectious diseases, transdermal drug delivery, and enhanced thrombolysis) are summarized. Finally, a perspective on the future research directions for the development of ultrasound-responsive polymeric materials to facilitate a clinical translation is given.

Abstract
To achieve the promise of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer, they should (1) avoid premature clearance; (2) accumulate in tumors and undergo endocytosis by cancer cells; and (3) exhibit appropriate stimuli-responsive release of the payload. It is challenging to address all of these requirements simultaneously. However, the numerous proof-of-concept studies addressing one or more of these requirements reported every year have dramatically expanded the toolbox available for the design of drug delivery systems. This review highlights recent advances in the targeting and stimuli-responsiveness of drug delivery systems. It begins with a discussion of nanocarrier types and an overview of the factors influencing nanocarrier biodistribution. On-demand release strategies and their application to each type of nanocarrier are reviewed, including both endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Recent developments in stimuli-responsive targeting strategies are also discussed. The remaining challenges and prospective solutions in the field are discussed throughout the review, which is intended to assist researchers in overcoming interdisciplinary knowledge barriers and increase the speed of development. This review presents a nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems toolbox that enables the application of techniques across platforms and inspires researchers with interdisciplinary information to boost the development of multifunctional therapeutic nanoplatforms for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The ion exchange constant, KXBr (for the case of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTABr, in this study) is a method dependant characterization of ion exchange process by counterions, X and Br with different relative binding ratios. In this report, the ion exchange constant, KXBr values for micelle systems irradiated under 2 min of sonication at 120 W power using a probe sonicator with 1 cm tip were determined to be 85.2, 125.6 and 122.4 when X = o-, m- and p-chlorobenzoates, respectively. The values were quantified using a semiempirical kinetic method coupled with Pseudophase Micellar model, and later compared to the same system in the absence of sonication. The sonication was found to amplify the KXBr values by ~ 13-fold for X = o-chlorobenzoate and ~ 2.5-fold for X = m- and p-chlorobenzoates. This is due to the improvement of ion exchange process by the oscillation of bubbles generated by acoustic cavitation. An active ion exchange process indicates better stabilization of the micelle aggregational structure by the penetration of the introduced counterions, X into the micelle Stern layer leading to the growth of the micelle. This is supported by the remarkable increase in the viscosity of the micelle system by > 7-fold for X = o-chlorobenzoate and by > 2-folds for X = m- and p-chlorobenzoates. Sonication was also found to induce maximum viscoelasticity at lower concentration ratio of [CTABr]:[X]. The ability of ultrasound to induce micelle growth and exhibiting viscoelasticity at lower concentration of counterionic additive will be very useful in technologies where viscoelastic solution is desired such as in oil drilling and centralized heating and cooling system.

Abstract
Natural prodrugs derived from different natural origins (e.g., medicinal plants, microbes, animals) have a long history in traditional medicine. They exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities, including anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo. They have potential as safe, cost-effective treatments with few side effects, but are lacking in solubility, bioavailability, specific targeting and have short half-lives. These are barriers to clinical application. Nanomedicine has the potential to offer solutions to circumvent these limitations and allow the use of natural pro-drugs in cancer therapy. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) of various morphology have attracted considerable attention in the search for targeted drug delivery systems. MSNs are characterized by chemical stability, easy synthesis and functionalization, large surface area, tunable pore sizes and volumes, good biocompatibility, controlled drug release under different conditions, and high drug-loading capacity, enabling multifunctional purposes. In vivo pre-clinical evaluations, a significant majority of results indicate the safety profile of MSNs if they are synthesized in an optimized way. Here, we present an overview of synthesis methods, possible surface functionalization, cellular uptake, biodistribution, toxicity, loading strategies, delivery designs with controlled release, and cancer targeting and discuss the future of anticancer nanotechnology-based natural prodrug delivery systems.

Abstract
As exemplified by recent clinical approval of RNA drugs including the latest COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, RNA therapy has demonstrated great promise as an emerging medicine. Central to the success of RNA therapy is the delivery of RNA molecules into the right cells at the right location. While the clinical success of nanotechnology in RNA therapy has been limited to lipid-based nanoparticles currently, polymers, due to their tunability and robustness, have also evolved as a class of promising material for the delivery of various therapeutics including RNAs. This article overviews different types of polymers used in RNA delivery and the methods for the formulation of polymeric nanoparticles and highlights recent progress of polymeric nanoparticle-based RNA therapy.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive Janus nanoparticles (NPs) with a two-facial structure have been used widely in biomedical applications. Among several methods to prepare these NPs, surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) has received much attention due to the precise deposition of polymers on the surface of the substrate. In this study, Janus nanoparticles with asymmetric surface chemistry were prepared through a masking method in three steps involving the covalent deposition of super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) on the cross-linked substrate based on methotrexate (MTX)-grafted poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (CPM), surface functionalization of unreacted sites of immobilized SPIONs with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIBB) in order to prepare the macro-initiator (Br-Fe3O4-CPM), growing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) on the surface of the macro-initiator through the SI-ATRP method. Optical microscopy was utilized to monitor the successful modification of SPIONs. Poly(methyl methacrylate)-iron oxide-poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PMMA-Fe3O4-PHEMA) microgel was exposed to optimum ultrasound (US) waves to prepare the PMMA-Fe3O4-PHEMA nanoparticle. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to confirm the precise deposition of polymers and the Janus structure. The MTX release of US-synthesized Janus NPs was studied in PBS at pH values of 7.4 and 5.8. The release data were analyzed using the Excel add-in DDSolver program to evaluate the kinetics of the drug release process from the nanocarrier under different pH values.

Abstract
The last decade has seen a surge of technical developments in the field on point-of-care testing (POCT). While these developments are extremely diverse, the common aim is to implement improved methods for quick, reliable and inexpensive diagnosis of patients within the clinical setting. While examples of successful introduction and use of POCT techniques are growing, further developments are still necessary to create POCT devices with better portability, usability and performance. Advances in smart materials emerge as potentially valuable know-hows to provide a competitive edge to the development of next generation POCT devices. This review describes the key advantages of adopting smart material-based technologies at different analytical stages of a POCT platform. Under these analytical stages which involves sample pre-treatment, analyte sensing and readout signal generator, several concepts and approaches from contemporary research work in using smart material-based technologies will be the major focus in this review. Lastly, challenges and potential outlook in implementing materials technologies from the application point of view for POCT will be discussed.

Abstract
The presence of leaky vasculature and the lack of lymphatic drainage of small structures by the solid tumors formulate nanoparticles as promising delivery vehicles in cancer therapy. In particular, among various nanoparticles, the mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) exhibit numerous outstanding features, including mechanical thermal and chemical stability, huge surface area and ordered porous interior to store different anti-cancer therapeutics with high loading capacity and tunable release mechanisms. Furthermore, one can easily decorate the surface of MSN by attaching ligands for active targeting specifically to the cancer region exploiting overexpressed receptors. The controlled release of drugs to the disease site without any leakage to healthy tissues can be achieved by employing environment responsive gatekeepers for the end-capping of MSN. To achieve precise cancer chemotherapy, the most desired delivery system should possess high loading efficiency, site-specificity and capacity of controlled release. In this review we will focus on multimodal decorations of MSN, which is the most demanding ongoing approach related to MSN application in cancer therapy. Herein, we will report about the recently tried efforts for multimodal modifications of MSN, exploiting both the active targeting and stimuli responsive behavior simultaneously, along with individual targeted delivery and stimuli responsive cancer therapy using MSN.

Abstract
While ultrasound is most widely known for its use in diagnostic imaging, the energy carried by ultrasound waves can be utilized to influence cell function and drug delivery. Consequently, our ability to use ultrasound energy at a given intensity unlocks the opportunity to use the ultrasound for therapeutic applications. Indeed, in the last decade ultrasound-based therapies have emerged with promising treatment modalities for several medical conditions. More recently, ultrasound in combination with nanomedicines, i.e., nanoparticles, has been shown to have substantial potential to enhance the efficacy of many treatments including cancer, Alzheimer disease or osteoarthritis. The concept of ultrasound combined with drug delivery is still in its infancy and more research is needed to unfold the mechanisms and interactions of ultrasound with different nanoparticles types and with various cell types. Here we present the state-of-art in ultrasound and ultrasound-assisted drug delivery with a particular focus on cancer treatments. Notably, this review discusses the application of high intensity focus ultrasound for non-invasive tumor ablation and immunomodulatory effects of ultrasound, as well as the efficacy of nanoparticle-enhanced ultrasound therapies for different medical conditions. Furthermore, this review presents safety considerations related to ultrasound technology and gives recommendations in the context of system design and operation.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential modality for clinical diagnosis, and MRI-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) is a powerful technology for targeted therapy. Clinical applications of MRgHIFU primarily utilize hyperthermia and ablation to treat cancerous tissue, but for drug delivery applications thermal damage is undesirable. A biofriendly MRgHIFU-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) platform that is stimulated within a physiological safe temperature range has been developed, reducing the possibility of thermal damage to the surrounding healthy tissues. Biocompatible polyethylene glycol (PEG) was employed to cap the pores of MSNs, and the release of cargo molecules by HIFU occurs without substantial temperature increase (∼4 °C). To visualize by MRI and measure the stimulated delivery in situ, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved gadolinium-based contrast agent, gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd(DTPA)2-), was used as the imageable cargo. Taking advantage of the three-dimensional (3-D) imaging and targeting capabilities of MRgHIFU, the release of Gd(DTPA)2- stimulated by HIFU was pinpointed at the HIFU focal point in 3-D space in a tissue-mimicking gel phantom. The amount of Gd(DTPA)2- released was controlled by HIFU stimulation times and power levels. A positive correlation between the amount of Gd(DTPA)2- released and T1 was found. The MRgHIFU-stimulated cargo release was further imaged in a sample of ex vivo animal tissue. With this technology, the biodistribution of the nanocarriers can be tracked and the MRgHIFU-stimulated cargo release can be pinpointed, opening up an opportunity for future image-guided theranostic applications.

Abstract
This review focuses on different materials and contrast agents that sensitize imaging and therapy with Focused Ultrasound (FUS). At high intensities, FUS is capable of selectively ablating tissue with focus on the millimeter scale, presenting an alternative to surgical intervention or management of malignant growth. At low intensities, FUS can be also used for other medical applications such as local delivery of drugs and blood brain barrier opening (BBBO). Contrast agents offer an opportunity to increase selective acoustic absorption or facilitate destructive cavitation processes by converting incident acoustic energy into thermal and mechanical energy. First, we review the history of FUS and its effects on living tissue. Next, we present different colloidal or nanoparticulate approaches to sensitizing FUS, for example using microbubbles, phase-shift emulsions, hollow-shelled nanoparticles, or hydrophobic silica surfaces. Exploring the science behind these interactions, we also discuss ways to make stimulus-responsive, or "turn-on" contrast agents for improved selectivity. Finally, we discuss acoustically-active hydrogels and membranes. This review will be of interest to those working in materials who wish to explore new applications in acoustics and those in acoustics who are seeking new agents to improve the efficacy of their approaches.

Abstract
Nanotechnology, which has already revolutionised many technological areas, is expected to transform life sciences. In this sense, nanomedicine could address some of the most important limitations of conventional medicine. In general, nanomedicine includes three major objectives: (1) trap and protect a great amount of therapeutic agents; (2) carry them to the specific site of disease avoiding any leakage; and (3) release on-demand high local concentrations of therapeutic agents. This feature article will make special emphasis on mesoporous silica nanoparticles that release their therapeutic cargo in response to ultrasound.

Abstract
High-intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) was used to stimulate the embedded copper sulfate (CuSO4) particles to release from the crosslinked poly (methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate) copolymer solid matrix. In order to better understand the ultrasound release mechanism for drug/polymer delivery systems, the synchrotron radiation X-ray computed microtomography (SR-CT) was used to non-destructively investigate the structure of drug/polymer delivery systems after different HIFU treatment time. For the first time, we clearly demonstrate that ultrasonic waves can overcome the constraints of the polymer chain and drive the filler to move from the strong region to the weak region in the solid polymer matrix, thus resulting in a change in distribution of the filler in solid polymers. This result also demonstrates that SR-CT is a powerful technique which can be used to quantitatively study the 3D structure of fillers/polymers composite as it can take a broader and overall view than the conventional localized two-dimensional analysis method such as SEM, TEM.

Abstract
Self-assembly strategies have been widely applied in the nanomedicine field, which provide a convenient approach for building various structures for delivery carriers. When cooperating with biomolecules, self-assembly systems have significant influence on the cell activity and life process and could be used for regulating nanodrug activity. In this review, self-assembled nanomedicines are introduced, including materials, encapsulation, and releasing strategies, where self-assembly strategies are involved. Furthermore, as a promising and emerging area for nanomedicine, in situ self-assembly of anticancer drugs and supramolecular antibiotic switches is also discussed about how to regulate drug activity. Selective pericellular assembly can block mass transformation of cancer cells inducing cell apoptosis, and the intracellular assembly can either cause cell death or effectively avoid drug elimination from cytosol of cancer cells because of the assembly-induced retention (AIR) effect. Host-guest interactions of drug and competitive molecules offer reversible regulations of antibiotic activity, which can reduce drug-resistance and inhibit the generation of drug-resistant bacteria. Finally, the challenges and development trend in the field are discussed.

Abstract
A pH- and ultrasound dual-responsive drug release pattern was successfully achieved using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) coated with polydopamine (PDA). In this paper, the PDA shell on the MSN surface was obtained through oxidative self-polymerization under the alkaline condition. The morphology and structure of this composite nanoparticle were fully characterized by a series of analyses, such as infrared (IR), transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX)-loaded composite nanoparticles were used to study the performances of responsive drug storage/release behavior, and this kind of hybrid material displayed an apparent pH response in DOX releasing under the acidic condition. Beyond that, upon high-intensity focused ultrasound exposure, loaded DOX in composite nanoparticles was successfully triggered to release from pores because of the ultrasonic cavitation effect, and the DOX-releasing pattern could be optimized into a unique pulsatile fashion by switching the on/off status. From the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, it was observed that our blank nanoparticles showed no toxicity to HeLa cells, but DOX-loaded nanoparticles could inhibit the growth of tumor cells. Furthermore, these composite nanoparticles displayed an effective near-IR photothermal conversion capability with a relatively high conversion efficiency (∼37%). These as-desired drug delivery carriers might have a great potential for future cancer treatment that combine the chemotherapy and photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Poly(sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate) (PAMPSNa) was prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization. An ionic liquid polymer (PAMPSP4448) was then prepared by exchanging the pendant counter cation from sodium (Na⁺) to tributyl-n-octylphosphonium (P4448⁺). We studied the ultrasound- and thermo-responsive behaviors of PAMPSP4448 in water. When the aqueous PAMPSP4448 solution was heated from 5 to 50 °C, the solution was always transparent with 100% transmittance. Unimers and interpolymer aggregates coexisted in water in the temperature range 5⁻50 °C. Generally, hydrogen bonding interactions are broken as the temperature increases due to increased molecular motion. Above 25 °C, the size of the interpolymer aggregates decreased, because hydrophobic interactions inside them were strengthened by dehydration accompanying cleavage of hydrogen bonds between water molecules and the pendant amide or sulfonate groups in PAMPSP4448. Above 25 °C, sonication of the aqueous solution induced an increase in the collision frequency of the aggregates. This promoted hydrophobic interactions between the aggregates to form larger aggregates, and the aqueous solution became turbid. When the temperature was decreased below 8 °C, hydrogen bonds reformed between water molecules and the pendant amide or sulfonate groups, allowing PAMPSP4448 to redissolve in water to form a transparent solution. The solution could be repeatedly controlled between turbidity and transparency by sonication and cooling, respectively.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymeric micelles, a novel category of polymeric micelles with response to endogenous or exogenous environments, show variable physicochemical properties as the variation of endogenous or exogenous circumstances. Because of differences between tumour tissues and normal tissues in physicochemical properties and sensitivity to variation of endogenous or exogenous environments, the application of chemotherapeutic agents loaded stimuli-responsive polymeric micelles are regarded as promising strategies for tumour treatment. In this article, the recent developments of chemotherapeutic agents loaded stimuli-responsive polymeric micelles, for example the preparation of novel stimuli-responsive polymeric micelles and the research progresses of action mechanisms of chemotherapeutic agents loaded micelles, were reviewed and discussed in detail. The advantages of stimuli-responsive chemotherapeutic agents loaded polymeric micelles in practical tumour treatment were also illustrated with the assistance of examples of stimuli-responsive polymeric micelles for antitumor agents delivery.

Abstract
There has been an exponential increase in research into the development of thermal- and ultrasound-activated delivery systems for cancer therapy. The majority of researchers employ polymer technology that responds to environmental stimuli some of which are physiologically induced such as temperature, pH, as well as electrical impulses, which are considered as internal stimuli. External stimuli include ultrasound, light, laser, and magnetic induction. Biodegradable polymers may possess thermoresponsive and/or ultrasound-responsive properties that can complement cancer therapy through sonoporation and hyperthermia by means of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). Thermoresponsive and other stimuli-responsive polymers employed in drug delivery systems can be activated via ultrasound stimulation. Polyethylene oxide/polypropylene oxide co-block or triblock polymers and polymethacrylates are thermal- and pH-responsive polymer groups, respectively but both have proven to have successful activity and contribution in chemotherapy when exposed to ultrasound stimulation. This review focused on collating thermal- and ultrasound-responsive delivery systems, and combined thermo-ultrasonic responsive systems; and elaborating on the advantages, as well as shortcomings, of these systems in cancer chemotherapy. The mechanisms of these systems are explicated through their physical alteration when exposed to the corresponding stimuli. The properties they possess and the modifications that enhance the mechanism of chemotherapeutic drug delivery from systems are discussed, and the concept of pseudo-ultrasound responsive systems is introduced.

Abstract
Therapeutic proteins and peptides have become notable in the drug delivery arena for their compatibility with the human body as well as their high potency. However, their biocompatibility and high potency does not negate the existence of challenges resulting from physicochemical properties of proteins and peptides, including large size, short half-life, capability to provoke immune responses and susceptibility to degradation. Various delivery routes and delivery systems have been utilized to improve bioavailability, patient acceptability and reduce biodegradation. The ocular route remains of great interest, particularly for responsive delivery of macromolecules due to the anatomy and physiology of the eye that makes it a sensitive and complex environment. Research in this field is slowly gaining attention as this could be the breakthrough in ocular drug delivery of macromolecules. This work reviews stimuli-responsive polymeric delivery systems, their use in the delivery of therapeutic proteins and peptides as well as examples of proteins and peptides used in the treatment of ocular disorders. Stimuli reviewed include pH, temperature, enzymes, light, ultrasound and magnetic field. In addition, it discusses the current progress in responsive ocular drug delivery. Furthermore, it explores future prospects in the use of stimuli-responsive polymers for ocular delivery of proteins and peptides. Stimuli-responsive polymers offer great potential in improving the delivery of ocular therapeutics, therefore there is a need to consider them in order to guarantee a local, sustained and ideal delivery of ocular proteins and peptides, evading tissue invasion and systemic side-effects.
