Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles contained in a shell of mesoporous silica provide a means for magnetic imaging and pH‐sensitive drug delivery. On page 242 Y.‐S. Cho, H. S. Shin, T.‐J. Yoon and co‐workers describe successful stabilization of such a theranostic system in liposomes that are anchored to cancer‐specific antibodies. Cancer therapy will profit from this highly selective system that offers imaging‐guided drug delivery.
