Sonogenetics is an emerging medical technology that uses acoustic waves to control cells through sonosensitive mediators (SSMs) that are genetically encoded, thus remotely and non-invasively modulating specific molecular events and/or biomolecular functions. Sonogenetics has opened new opportunities for targeted spatiotemporal manipulation in the field of gene and cell-based therapies due to its inherent advantages, such as its noninvasive nature, high level of safety, and deep tissue penetration. Sonogenetics holds impressive potential in a wide range of applications, from tumor immunotherapy and mitigation of Parkinsonian symptoms to the modulation of neural reward pathway, and restoration of vision. This review provides a detailed overview of the mechanisms and classifications of established sonogenetics systems and summarizes their applications in disease treatment and management. The review concludes by highlighting the challenges that hinder the further progress of sonogenetics, paving the way for future advances.
