Ultrasound-nanovesicles interplay for theranostics
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2024 Feb;205:115176. doi: 10.1016/j.addr.2023.115176. Epub 2024 Jan 9.ABSTRACTNanovesicles (NVs) are widely used in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases due to their excellent vascular permeability, good biocompatibility, high loading capacity, and easy functionalization. However, their yield and in vivo penetration depth limitations and their complex preparation processes still constrain their application and development. Ultrasound, as a fundamental external stimulus with deep tissue penetration, concentrated energy sources, and good safety, has been proven to be a patient-friendly and highly effic...

Ultrasound-responsive microbubbles and nanodroplets: A pathway to targeted drug delivery
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2024 Jan 8;206:115178. doi: 10.1016/j.addr.2023.115178. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUltrasound-responsive agents have shown great potential as targeted drug delivery agents, effectively augmenting cell permeability and facilitating drug absorption. This review focuses on two specific agents, microbubbles and nanodroplets, and provides a sequential overview of their drug delivery process. Particular emphasis is given to the mechanical response of the agents under ultrasound, and the subsequent physical and biological effects on the cells. Finally, the state-of-the-art in their pre-clinical and clinical...
