Manufacturing porous particles to enable them to carry bioactive molecules into living cells is a target for the development of personalized nanomedicine. In their Communication on page 10900 ff. , L. De Cola et al. describe using zeolite‐L crystals as multifunctional nanocontainers to simultaneously deliver DNA oligonucleotides and organic molecules into living cells. Multifunctional zeolite‐L was prepared by filling the pore system with guest molecules, whilst DNA was adsorbed electrostatically on their surface.
