Graphene oxide shows stress‐induced toxicity properties in vivo under different pathophysiological conditions, as Yuliang Zhao, Guangjun Nie, Ying Fang, and co‐workers report on page 5391 . A dual‐path chemical mechanism, involving the over‐production of hydroxyl radicals and the formation of oxidizing cytochrome c intermediates, is responsible for the toxicity properties.
