Abstract
. This enhanced piezoelectric property is shown to enhance the piezocatalytic reactions by 10 times. The approach has been used to design colloidal nano-bioconjugate for selective labeling of cancer cells, followed by wireless cell therapy via medical-grade ultrasound-based intracellular reactive oxygen species generation. The developed approach and material can be extended for wireless therapeutic applications and for controlling intracellular processes.
