On page 5553, C. Tapeinos and A. Pandit review the properties of reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐sensitive moieties which can respond to oxidative conditions inside cells. ROS‐sensitive chemical structures, shown in the background of the image, are currently used in the biomedical field as drug‐delivery systems, imaging probes, prochelators, and prodrugs for imaging and treatment of various diseases.
