The inside front cover is a schematic representation of an anticancer platelet‐mimicking drug‐delivery system described by Z. Gu and co‐workers on page 7043. The platelet membrane‐coated nanovehicles can inhibit primary tumor growth, and also eliminate circulating tumor cells through sequential delivery of plasma membrane‐associated cytokine and intracellularly functional small‐molecule drugs.
