Open Sesame! A template‐free synthetic approach to stimuli‐responsive polymer nanocapsules that are potentially useful for targeted drug delivery has been developed. In their Communication on p. 4405 ff. , K. Kim and co‐workers show that reductively labile polymer nanocapsules composed of CB[6] and disulfide bridges allow not only facile, noncovalent surface modification for targeted delivery but also the release of encapsulated cargo in response to a predefined redox stimulus in an intracellular environment.
