In article number 1807727 , Xing Ma and co‐workers present an enzymatic micromotor functionalized with magnetic nanoparticles and photosensitizers, which can be actively propelled via a biocatalytic reaction and serve as a mobile photosensitizer platform for highly efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT). This platform can overcome the long‐standing bottleneck problem of the PDT process by improving the accessibility to 3 O 2 molecules and enlarging the diffusing range of in‐situ generated 1 O 2 .
