On page 2408, E. J. Chung and M. Tirrell provide targeted strategies using self‐assembling nano‐particles for atherosclerosis nanomedicine. The cover image shows recent examples of nano‐particles (tobacco mosaic virus in purple, peptide amphiphile micelles in green) within a blood vessel that target early to late stages of atherosclerosis and aim to mitigate the lethality of the disease.
