In article number 1907650, Peter Wick and co‐workers openly discuss the remaining challenges to achieving predictive nanotoxicology and some points that lead to re‐thinking it. The understanding of nanomaterial biotransformation, e.g., aggregation, protein corona, and dissolution, before and after interacting with cells, might provide crucial missing pieces of the puzzle.
