Biological barriers including stratum corneum and cell membranes pose a difficulty in transdermal and intracellular delivery of fluorescent probes, biological molecules, genes, etc. Various approaches have been or are being developed for tackling the problem. The current state of applying advanced materials and nanotechnology for drug delivery, crossing biological barriers, is reviewed by X. Chen and co‐workers on page 5533.
