Engineering nanosensitizers into hierarchical modulators for sonodynamic antibacterial therapy
Abstract
conventional, piezoelectric, and catalytically augmented heterojunctions to maximize ROS generation; (2) constructing microenvironment-responsive antibacterial executors that leverage heterostructures to penetrate and eradicate biofilms; and (3) orchestrating programmable antibacterial executors that integrate heterojunction nano-sonosensitizers with multimodal therapies, functioning as an augmentable core, a cooperative partner, or a programmable initiator of therapeutic cascades. Finally, the main translational challenges and future perspectives are discussed.
