Recent advances in the anti‐cancer effects of various types of low‐dimensional nanomaterials with inherent chemotherapeutic bioactivity are described by W. Zhou, X.‐F. Yu et al. in their Minireview on page 10995 ff. This group of materials has been proposed for drug delivery, photothermal/photodynamic therapies, and multimodal theranostic treatments. Herein particular emphasis is put on black phosphorus nanosheets, which is a new and exciting material with excellent inherent bioactivity, selectivity, and biocompatibility in cancer therapy.
