Front Cover: Derivatization of polysaccharides with hydrophobic moieties can lead to amphiphilic polymers which spontaneously self‐assemble in nanohydrogels. On page 1185 , P. Matricardi and colleages show how hyaluronic acid derivatives can be used for the formation of such nanohydrogels, which are suitable, as nanodelivery systems for therapeutical proteins, to be released to tumor cells.
