• [57]. Moreover, sonoporation, a mechanical effect of US, may lead to a temporarily perturbation of cell membrane homeostasis and disruption of the cell membrane [58]. Additionally, US exposure could cause cells to detach from the surface, potentially leading to their removal during the washing process

The present review discusses US-responsive theranostic nanomaterials under the following categories: MBs, micelles, liposomes

Cavitation events are sometimes triggered by the effects of US on MBs. Microbubbles are micrometer-sized (1–10 µm
