Front Cover: Polymers with time‐dependent LCST properties are dissolved in aqueous buffers at temperatures below the LCST and then gel upon injection at 37 °C. With time the polymers undergo dissolution when the LCST increases above 37 °C. This suggests that they can be cleared by the kidney when dissolved into its individual 30 000 g/mol polymeric chains. Further details can be found in the Full Paper by B. H. Lee, B. Vernon * on page 629.
