The cover image shows a 3D reconstruction of a confocal laser scanning microscopy image capturing the interaction of multifunctional silica hybrid magnetic nanoparticles with macrophage cells. Through the use of complementary analytical and imaging techniques, M. J. D. Clift, A. Petri‐Fink, and team highlight on page 188 the role of surface peptide and ligand sequences upon the cellular uptake and intracellular fate of such magnetic nanoparticles in vitro.
