Ultrasound (US), known for its non-invasive nature and high tissue penetration, has demonstrated remarkable potential in medical diagnostic imaging and tumor therapy. Nanocarriers, through the use of nanomaterials, has exhibited significant advantages in targeted drug delivery, improving bioavailability and reducing si...
Despite advancements in oncology, conventional cancer therapies remain limited by poor specificity, systemic toxicity, and suboptimal therapeutic indices. Micellar nanostructures have emerged as a transformative platform to overcome these hurdles, leveraging their amphiphilic nature to encapsulate hydrophobic agents wi...

Focused ultrasound (FUS) in combination with micro- or nanobubbles is a promising strategy for transiently and non-invasively opening the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to enable targeted drug delivery to the brain. Here, we report a FUS-responsive delivery system using bi-layer nanobubbles (NBs) loaded with small molecules...

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a widely used noninvasive diagnostic technique, in which contrast‐enhanced imaging accounts for nearly half of all clinical MRI examinations. Although gadolinium‐based contrast agents are extensively employed, their potential safety concerns have motivated the development of alterna...
