The application of a multistage drug‐delivery system comprising biodegradable nanoporous silicon particles that allow for a site‐specific delivery of different imaging or therapeutic nanoparticles is presented by Mauro Ferrari and co‐workers on page H278 . The image shows a silicon particle that releases a therapeutic payload into bone marrow tissue.
