Ultrasound is an indispensable technology in the biomedical field. With the continuous integration and development of ultrasound medical technology, its potential application value in disease diagnosis and treatment has become increasingly prominent. As the technical core, novel multifunctional ultrasound theranostic agents have been the main focus of research. Here, we summarized various types of multifunctional ultrasound agents, presented their latest applications in important areas, and discussed subsequent research priorities. We hope that with the combination of new technologies, multifunctional ultrasound agents can play a greater role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, further promoting the extensive and in-depth development of ultrasound medical technology.

The G-quadruplex (G4) is an important diagnostic and therapeutic target in cancers, but the development of theranostic probes for subcellular G4s remains challenging. In this work, we report three G4-targeted theranostic probes by conjugating a pyridostatin-derived G4 ligand to G4-specific iridium(III) complexes with desirable photophysical properties. These probes showed specifically enhanced luminescence to mitochondrial G4 in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells.

Small molecule-based multifunctional optical diagnostic materials have garnered considerable interest due to their highly customizable structures, tunable excited-state properties, and remarkable biocompatibility. We herein report the synthesis of a multifaceted photosensitizer, PPQ-CTPA, which exhibits exceptional efficacy in generating Type I reactive oxygen species (ROS) and thermal energy under near-infrared-II (NIR-II, >1000 nm) laser excitation at 1064 nm, thereby combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) functionalities. To enhance therapeutic efficacy, we engineered lonidamine (LND) by conjugating it with triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cations, producing LND-TPP.

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and heterogeneous astrocytic tumor, with its intracranial location limiting the efficacy of conventional therapies. This study presents the synthesis of a multifunctional nanocomplex utilizing borophene nanosheets (B NSs) as a substrate. Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are modified onto the surface of B NSs to create Schottky heterojunctions (BAu).

Stacked semiconducting nanosheets (SSNs), which feature strong in-plane covalent bonds but weak van der Waals (vdWs) interactions between adjacent layers, hold substantial promise in next-generation, printable, and flexible devices. Among them, SSN-based transistors with high current multiplication offer significant potential for large-area, high-integration electronics and biomedical applications. However, the three-terminal configuration of the transistor inevitably increases the process step and power unit.
