Ratiometric Fluorescent Detection of Ultrasound-Regulated ATP Release: An Ultrasound-Resistant Cu,N-Doped Carbon Nanosphere

< 0.001). Moreover, no significant difference in ATP release was detected between the control group and the dual-frequency ultrasound irradiation group (+4%). It is consistent with the results of ATP detection by the ATP-kit. Besides, all-ATP detection was developed to prove that the CNS had ultrasound-resistant properties, which means it could bear the irradiation of focused ultrasound in different patterns and detect all-ATP in real time. In the study, the ultrasound-resistant probe has the advantages of simple preparation, high specificity, low limit of detection, good biocompatibility, and cell imaging ability. It has great potential to act as a multifunctional ultrasound theranostic agent for simultaneous ultrasound therapy, ATP detection, and monitoring.
