The back cover picture shows calcium titanate nanofibers with controlled microstructures that were successfully fabricated by an electrospinning method. The nanofibers synthesized without the F127 surfactant are of markedly increased surface area and pore volume, and thus present the highest drug loading capacity and the most sustained release kinetics. The nanofibers may serve as a promising drug delivery system for a variety of pharmaceutical and tumor therapy applications that require a sustained release to reduce the significant side effects of the drugs. Details are discussed in the article by Xiang Li, Gaorong Han, Chuanbin Mao et al. on p. 4532 ff .
