Back Cover: Amyloid‐β (Aβ) peptide oligomers play a central role in Alzheimer's disease. Sulfonated and sulfated polystyrene nanoparticles interact with Aβ‐inducing randomization of its structure. Consequently, the oligomerization process is disturbed, and the peptide‐induced toxicity to neuroblastoma cells is reduced. Further details can be found in the full paper by A. M. Saraiva, * I. Cardoso, M. J. Saraiva, K. Tauer, M. Carmo Pereira, M. A. N. Coelho, H. Möhwald, and G. Brezesinski * on page 1152 .
