The cover picture shows a dual drug‐delivery system for both anticancer doxorubicin and anti‐inflammatory ibuprofen with multichannel silica nanotubes (MC‐SNTs) as carriers. The bioactivity is associated with the aspect ratios of the carrier. The three‐dimensionally controllable MC‐SNTs (i.e. the length, outer diameter, pore size) are synthesized through a one‐pot hydrothermal procedure in which P123 acts as a shape‐controlling additive and ammonia acts as a size adjuster. More details can be found in the Full Paper by Yan Kong, Jin Chen et al. on page 1615 in Issue 11, 2015 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201500231).
