This issue includes articles on an ultra‐sensitive protein‐protein interaction assay, an approach to overcome low yields of plant‐made antibodies and a method to efficiently generate germline transgenic mice. The cover shows inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) that constitute an extracellular polymer for energy release, delivery and transport. PolyP use blood platelets as transport vehicles to reach their target cells, but have also been successfully encapsulated into microparticles allowing the development of novel therapeutics strategies.
