Abstract
A special "small to big" temperature-responsive phase-transformation strategy based on the "acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV)" mechanism is developed for efficient targeted ultrasonography and synergistic high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) cancer surgery by engineering targeted nanoemulsions, which is systematically evaluated and successfully demonstrated in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo.
