The cover picture shows a versatile method for the synthesis of periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) nanoparticles with tunable morphologies ranging from nanospheres to nanowires by exploiting organic co‐solvent(s) and the aqueous template. The fluorescent derivatives of these PMO nanoparticles were used to study their accumulation and toxicity in HeLa cells. Details are given in the Communication by N. M. Khashab and co‐workers on page 631 in Issue 4, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201600560).
