Selective encapsulation of hydrophobic molecules in the nanoshell of multilayer polysaccharide capsules is presented by Catherine Picart, Rachel Auzély‐Velty, and co‐workers on page H200 . The capsules open new avenues for applications in nanomedicine: as carrier systems for hydrophobic molecules entrapped in the shell as well as hydrophilic ones loaded in the aqueous cavity.
