description For over a decade, advancements in ultrasound-enhanced drug delivery strategies have demonstrated remarkable success in providing targeted drug delivery for a broad range of diseases. In order to achieve enhanced drug delivery, these strategies harness the mechanical effects from bubble oscillations (i.e., cavitation) of a variety of exogenous cavitation agents. Recently, solid cavitation agents have emerged due to their capacity for drug-loading and sustained cavitation duration. Unlike other cavitation agents, solid cavitation agents stabilize gaseous bubbles on hydrophobic surface cavities. Thus, the design of these particles is crucial. In this Review, we provide an overview of the different designs for solid cavitation agents such as nanocups, nanocones, and porous structures, as well as the current status of their development. Considering the numerous advantages of solid cavitation agents, we anticipate further innovations for this new type of cavitation agent across a broad range of biomedical applications.
