Xiangyang Shi and co‐workers show on page 1267 that the unique combination of dendrimer chemistry and carbon nanotubes allows the generation of multifunctional nanodevices for high‐payload encapsulation of a model anticancer drug doxorubicin with pH‐responsive release behavior and targeting specificity, providing an efficient strategy for targeted cancer therapy.
