Front Cover : Nanohybrids represent a new frontier of advanced biotransporters. They have emerged as a promising candidate to overcome the limitations of existing therapeutics delivery technologies. Their uniqueness is based on the fact that organic or inorganic nanomaterials can be efficiently combined with biomolecules to form single composite structures. Moreover, the possibility to introduce cell binding motifs to increase their biological selectivity makes them a potential tool for diverse biomedical applications. Further details can be found in the article by Jonathan Whitlow, Settimio Pacelli and Arghya Paul* on page 1245.
