Controlled drug release is significant for preventing drug resistance. As described by W. Liu and co‐workers on page 1420, core‐shell SiO 2 @TiO 2 nanoparticles with enhanced photocatalytic activity can be applied in for UV‐light‐triggered degradation of surface erythrocyte membrane coatings, demonstrating the potential of using biomimetic cell‐membrane‐coated nanocarriers for controlled drug delivery.
