Abstract

Modalities for photo‐triggered anticancer therapy are usually limited by their low penetrative depth. Sonotheranostics especially sonodynamic therapy (SDT), which is different from photodynamic therapy (PDT) by the use of highly penetrating acoustic waves to activate a class of sound‐responsive materials called sonosensitizers, has gained significant interest in recent years. The effect of SDT is closely related to the structural and physicochemical properties of the sonosensitizers, which has led to the development of new sound‐activated materials as sonosensitizers for various biomedical applications. This Review provides a summary and discussion of the types of novel sonosensitizers developed in the last few years and outlines their specific designs and the potential challenges. The applications of sonosensitizers with various functions such as for imaging and drug delivery as well as in combination with other treatment modalities would provide new strategies for disease therapy.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • SDT employs ultrasound to activate sonosensitizers, which selectively accumulate in tumor tissues, generating reactive oxygen species that target and destroy tumor cells while minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissues.

    “SDT employs ultrasound (US) to activate sonosensitizers, which selectively accumulate in tumor tissues. Upon activation, these sonosensitizers generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), targeting and destroying tumor cells while minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissues from damage [10–13].”
  • Sonodynamic therapy is a new strategy for tumor treatment with non-invasive, highly controllable, deep tissue penetration, and targeted ability.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
