On Page 467, S. Wu and co‐workers demonstrate a novel photo‐controlled drug delivery system based on Ru‐containing block copolymers. The Ru‐containing block copolymers self‐assemble into nanostructures that can enter cancer cells. Red light can penetrate into tissue deeply, activate the Ru‐containing block copolymers, and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
