On page 7057, P. N. Prasad, S. Kim, and co‐workers report on nanoparticles for brain theranostics. The nanoparticles are capable of crossing the blood–brain barrier, their fate is traceable by optical imaging, and they demonstrate both efficient intracranial drug delivery and effective therapeutic outcome against brain tumor.
