In article number 1604508, Dongfei Liu, Hélder A. Santos, and co‐workers fabricated an optimal nano‐innano vector, consisting of a drug nanocrystal core and a polymer shell. The favorable features of both polymer nanoparticles and drug nanocrystals were inherited by the obtained core/shell nanovector. The half maximal inhibitory concentration value of the core/shell nanovector was over 50 times lower than that of conventional particles.
