Back Cover: The minimal polyion complex (PIC) as a single ionomer pair, termed unit PIC, is selectively formed from a small interfering RNA (siRNA) and a block catiomer of poly(ethylene glycol) and poly( l ‐lysine) in a wide range of ionomer concentration. This unit PIC formation is derived from the rigid structure of siRNA, which hampers the multimolecular assembly of PICs. Further details can be found in the article by K. Hayashi, H. Chaya, S. Fukushima, S. Watanabe, H. Takemoto, K. Osada, N. Nishiyama, K. Miyata,* and K. Kataoka* on page 486.
