On page 1708, K. Hayashi and co‐workers develop a smart ferrofluid that transforms into a gel immediately after injection into tumors using a polysaccharide extracted from seaweed, an amino acid, and iron oxide nanoparticles. The ferrofluid has the potential to facilitate magnetic resonance imaging‐guided magnetic thermochemotherapy through a combination of endoscopic technologies in the future.
