Exfoliated 2D MnO 2 nanosheets described by J. Shi, L. Wang, and co‐workers on page 7019, show a unique break‐up nature in mild acidic microenvironment of tumor tissues, which could substantially enhance the in vitro and in vivo performances of T 1 ‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Such a pH‐triggered break‐up nature can also promote the fast release of loaded anticancer drugs for concurrent pH‐responsive theranostics of cancer.
