Polymer carriers with finely controlled and responsive properties have received increasing interest for biomedical applications. On page 4718 , Frank Caruso and co‐workers report a facile and robust approach to prepare pH‐labile drug‐loaded polymer particles by combining mesoporous silica‐templated assembly and polymer‐drug conjugates for drug delivery into cancer cells. These particles are a novel and versatile class of stimuli‐responsive carriers for controlled drug delivery.
