The frontispiece shows a TEM image of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) and a graphical representation of MSN‐based nanoconstructs for stimuli‐responsive delivery of mesopore‐loaded therapeutic molecules and targeted delivery of drugs and therapeutic genes to cancer cells through specific recognition of cancer‐overexpressed receptors. The Minireview by Nikola Ž. Knežević and Jean‐Olivier Durand on page 26 discusses modalities for targeted treatment of cancer with an overview of recent MSN‐based effective designs for therapeutic and diagnostic anticancer applications.
