In article number 1900101, Jianxun Ding and co‐workers summarize the development of immunostimulation and immunosuppression using nanotechnology. The activated immune system recognizes and eliminates foreign antigens to keep our body from outside invasion, while suppressed immunity averts uncontrolled over‐activation of inflammation and autoimmunity. The balance between immune activation and immune suppression is essential for the maintenance of our well‐being.
