Front Cover: Our multifunctional nanocarrier system designed for tumor‐targeting co‐delivery shows controlled release behaviors of hydrophobic molecules at tumors by a temperature trigger and receptor‐mediated gene delivery. In this system, functions of temperature‐sensitive drug release and tumor's specific receptor‐mediated gene delivery originate from Pluronic F127 and polyethylenimine‐decorated folic acid, respectively. Thus, this system envisages a promising potential for the cancer treatment in response to hitting temperature to hyperthermia. Further details can be found in the article by S.‐J. Seo et al. on page 1198 .
