Targeted theranostic nanoparticles with dual pH and magnetic responsive properties for intracellular delivery are described by B. Herranz‐Blanco, H. A. Santos, and co‐workers on page 1904. Using a pH‐switch nanoprecipitation method in organic‐free solvents, a polymeric‐drug conjugate solid nanoparticle containing encapsulated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and decorated with a tumor homing peptide, iRGD, are targeted to endothelial and metastatic cancer cells.
