A multicomponent magneto‐dendritic nanosystem (MDNS) is designed for rapid tumor cell targeting, isolation, and high‐resolution imaging by a facile bioconjugation approach. Jayant J. Khandare and co‐workers show on page 800 that the MDNS system is capable of capturing circulating tumors cells rapidly from the mixture of peripheral blood cells. This approach is envisioned for the early diagnosis of metastatic cancer.
