The degradability and clearance of siliceous nanomaterials have been questioned worldwide since they are crucial prerequisites for successful translation in the clinic. In article number 1604634, Niveen M. Khashab and co‐workers summarize the degradability and clearance of silicon and mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and the tunability of the silica degradation via incorporation of organics and inorganics. Selecting a specific nanomaterial provides tailored clearance kinetics and applications.
