Front Cover : Biodegradable nanogels based on polymers in which methacrylate groups were coupled to hydrophilic polymer backbones via biodegradable glycolate esters were developed. The obtained nanogels have tailorable degradation kinetics under physiological conditions by varying the structure of the polymers and crosslink density of the nanogels. The release of a loaded macromolecular model drug can be controlled upon the degradation of nanogels. Further details can be found in the article by Y. Chen, M. J. van Steenbergen, D. Li, J.
