A schematic representation of the tumor‐specific self‐degradable nanogels as potential carriers for systemic delivery of anticancer proteins described by Ran Mo and co‐workers in article number 1707371 . The cocoon as representation of the nanogel can protect the fragile protein during circulation and release the protein by self‐degradation under tumor acidic conditions, like the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly.
