A new modality of using ultrasound irradiation instead of photoactivation, as in photodynamic therapy (PDT), sonodynamic therapy, has emerged as a promising treatment for various types of cancer. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has the ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) by not only photo- but also ultrasound-irradiation. Here, the formation of core-shell type polyion complex micelles from TiO2 nanoparticles with polyallylamine bearing poly(ethylene glycol) grafts effectively improves the… 
In Vitro Sonodynamic Therapeutic Effect of Polyion Complex Micelles Incorporating Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles
TLDR
The combination of TiO2 NP-PIC micelles and ultrasound irradiation was confirmed to induce apoptotic cell death and prolonging the irradiation time killed cells more effectively than did increasing the ultrasound power.
Recent advances in nanomaterials for sonodynamic therapy
TLDR
Inorganic sonosensitizers show good in vivo stability, controllable physicochemical properties, ease of achieving multifunctionality, and high tumor targeting efficacy which greatly expanded their application in SDT, and the prospects of inorganic nanomaterials for SDT application are discussed.
Biomedical Applications of TiO2 Nanostructures: Recent Advances
TLDR
T titanium dioxide nanostructures and their derivatives are new emerging antimicrobial agents to overcome human pathogenic microorganisms and like all other nanomaterials, toxicity and biocompatibility of TiO2 nanostructure compounds must be considered.
Ultrasound, pH, and magnetically responsive crown-ether-coated core/shell nanoparticles as drug encapsulation and release systems.
TLDR
Magnetic resonance imaging analysis of the particles reveals a high relaxivity, rendering them potentially useful theranostic agents, and biological evaluation of the nanoparticles renders them noncytotoxic and can be uptaken by L929 cells.
Erythrocyte-Camouflaged Mesoporous Titanium Dioxide Nanoplatform for an Ultrasound-Mediated Sequential Therapies of Breast Cancer
TLDR
Based on the sequential strategy, RBC-mTNPs@AQ4N exhibited an excellent synergistic therapeutic effect, thus potentially advancing the development of SDT in cancer treatments.
Exogenous Physical Irradiation on Titania Semiconductors: Materials Chemistry and Tumor‐Specific Nanomedicine
TLDR
The very‐recent development of novel exogenous physical irradiation of titania semiconductors for tumor‐specific therapies based on their unique physiochemical properties, including near infrared (NIR)‐triggered photothermal hyperthermia and photodynamic therapy, X‐ray/Cerenkov radiation‐activated deep‐seated photodynamic surgery, and the intriguing synergistic therapeutic paradigms by combined exogenousPhysical irradiations are in focus.
Photothermal and photodynamic therapy reagents based on rGO–C6H4–COOH
TLDR
The CBRH7919 cancer cells could be induced to effectively undergo apoptosis by rGO–PEI–TCPP under laser irradiation and could be pushed to the vulnerable G2 phase of the cell cycle, which is the most sensitive and susceptible stage to damage by radiation.
RGD-conjugated titanium dioxide nanoparticles: targeted near-infrared photothermal therapy for αvβ3 integrin overexpressed cancer cells
TLDR
Cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Tyr-Lys)-conjugated TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-RGD NPs) are designed with an ideal biocompatibility and targeting property and showed the high targeting property for U87-MG cells with overexpression of αvβ3 integrin.
