An implantable, highly compliant device for targeted heating of internal organs is developed, as described in the article 1900407 by Cãnón Bermudez, Tetyana Yevsa, Denys Makarov and co‐workers. The device is fabricated on a 6‐μm‐thick polymeric foil, which seamlessly conforms even to a soft liver tissue and allows for precisely controlled heating without on‐site rigid parts. Various heat impact scenarios on healthy and cancerous tissues using autochthonous murine models are studied.
