Liposomes with multistage pH‐response to a mildly acidic tumor extracellular matrix and acidic intracellular compartments are like rockets for transporting anticancer drugs to mitochondria, as reported by C. Zhang and co‐workers. On page 3659 , liposomes reverse the charge of the tumor microenvironment, enhancing cellular uptake (white flying rocket), escape from endolysosomes (blue sphere), and delivery to mitochondria in tumor cells (black flying rocket), providing a safe, efficient carrier platform for cascade drug delivery on the basis of a kinetic process.
