Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201470305-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>On page 7468, G. M. Lu, H. R. Chen, Y. Y. Zheng, and co‐workers propose a minimally invasive and efficient strategy for localized tumor regression via the development of an injectable phase‐transformation composite material, i.e., magnetic‐Fe‐powder‐dispersed PLGA (Fe/PLGA) implants. The liquid Fe/PLGA can quickly transform into its solid state to generate the implants in situ upon contact with body fluid and induce magnetic hyperthermia of tumors by an external magnetic field. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2cn0tbpt" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
