An improved antitumor therapy can be achieved by rationally designing an intelligent nanomedicine with programmed functions to specifically eliminate tumors while leaving healthy tissues untouched. On page 733, X.‐Z. Zhang and co‐workers demonstrate a tailor‐made ZnO‐based nanococktail with a stealth capacity to trigger an intracellular cascade reaction, releasing drugs on‐demand for tumor‐specific therapy.
