Abstract

Abstract : By taking advantage of the innate ability of the immune cells to target tumor cells, in article number 1603121, Cheng Dong, Jian Yang, and co‐workers develop a selfpowered immune cell‐mediated theranostic biodegradable photoluminescent poly (lactic acid) (BPLP‐PLA) nanoparticle‐based drug delivery system for melanoma targeting and drug delivery.
