The cover feature shows a depiction of boron neutron capture therapy where the pool table is a cancer cell and the balls are the particles involved in the process. The main ball 10 is a water‐soluble phthalocyanine carborane conjugate that can pass through the cell membraneand enrich cells with 10 B. Details are given in the Full Paper by G. Ricciardi, E. Hamuryudan, and co‐workers on page 345 in Issue 4, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201800560).
