Back Cover : Oxidation‐responsive polymers are predominantly studied in relation to biological oxidants (reactive oxygen species, ROS), most often for therapeutic purposes. In article number 1800699 , Nicola Tirelli and co‐workers discuss the progress in the field (including cascade and multiple responses), which now allows for finely controlled physico‐chemical mechanisms. Much is now to be learned about the complex roles of ROS in order to precisely understand biological responses.
