The Inside Cover picture illustrates the possibility of using chemi‐ and bioluminescent systems as intracellular light sources for photosensitizer activation in photodynamic cancer therapy. This approach can eliminate the shortcomings of external light sources used currently. More information can be found in the Minireview by L. Pinto da Silva and co‐workerson page 2286 in Issue 15, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.201600270).
