On p. 2002, D.S.W. Benoit and co‐workers describe the first approach to temporally control enzymatically responsive drug release. The background shows the vascularization induced by the enzymatically responsive hydrogels, imaged using multiphoton fluorescence microscopy. Overlaid on this background are schematic depictions of hydrogels releasing drug slowly or quickly, depending on the enzymatically degradable linker use. A cell expressing enzymes is depicted showing the enzymatically mediated release.
