Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a cutting-edge, noninvasive treatment modality that activates sonosensitizers via low-intensity ultrasound (US) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), offering deep tissue penetration, low phototoxicity, and minimal side effects. Beyond direct cytotoxicity, it can trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD), thereby enhancing systemic antitumor immune responses. However, its efficacy is constrained by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME). To address these limitations, growing research efforts have focused on dual therapeutic strategies that combine SDT with tumor immunotherapy. These strategies are designed to enhance tumor-specific accumulation of sonosensitizers through stimuli-responsive release mechanisms. SDT activates immune pathways and induces ICD, thus remodeling the tumor microenvironment (TME) and converting immunologically \"cold\" tumors into \"hot\" tumors. This transformation effectively addresses the low response rates and immune-related adverse events associated with immunotherapy, while enhancing immune recognition and tumor clearance. This review summarizes recent advances in the development of stimuli-responsive release strategies for sonosensitizers in sonodynamic immunotherapy, discusses the challenges hindering clinical translation, and underscores the potential of this dual therapeutic strategy in advancing cancer treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":113,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Healthcare Materials","volume":" ","pages":"e2502183"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144641301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While various reviews have addressed barrier membranes for periodontal and bone regeneration, comprehensive reviews specifically focusing on multifunctional Janus membranes are still limited. This review highlights recent advances in Janus membrane design for GTR and GBR applications.

In this study, a novel photocrosslinkable bioink derived from methacrylated decellularized porcine kidney extracellular matrix (KdMA) is reported. The decellularization process effectively removed cellular components while preserving key extracellular matrix constituents. The resulting KdMA bioink exhibited favorable rheological properties, including tunable stiffness and rapid photocuring kinetics, making it compatible with both digital light processing-based stereolithography and extrusion-based bioprinting platforms.

To address this, a three-step customized therapeutic system is proposed for prolonged pain relief and efficient local drug delivery. First, ADAM17 is identified as a novel therapeutic target for OFP, and find a small-molecule inhibitor, TAPI-1, which can effectively suppress ADAM17 activity. Subsequently, guided by the presence of an amine group on TAPI-1, an optimized hydrogel matrix is synthesized via Schiff-base bonding to enable stable encapsulation. The hydrogel, composed of hyaluronic acid derivatives carrying aldehyde (HAALD) and aminated gelatin (AGel), forms a scaffold that slows drug release. Second, for clinical application in orofacial tissue, unmodified hyaluronic acid (HA) and gelatin are incorporated to optimize the hydrogel's rheological properties for practicable injection. Third, to further prolong drug release, customized hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles are added to trap a portion of TAPI-1, matching the drug's molecular diameter. This triple-tailored sustained-release hydrogel (HHGA hydrogel) maintains effective drug levels for 7 days, aligning with the pain phase and obviously relieving pain in mice.
