Protein‐based nanospheres, fabricated by protein and polypeptide co‐assembly, are developed as versatile drug delivery vehicles for photosensitizers. On page 5936, X. Yan and co‐workers describe how the responsiveness of nanospheres to changes in pH/redox/enzyme stimuli leads to efficient multi‐triggered tumor‐responsive photodynamic tumor ablation.
