A shuttle into cells: A modular c‐myc‐antisense‐Gd@BioShuttle system (see figure), comprising a gadolinium‐ containing nitride cluster fullerene as an imaging component, an address module (nuclear localization sequence) and a transmembrane carrier peptide, is prepared, and its facile intracellular localization is proven by in vitro studies.
