Abstract

Abstract : Versatile biopolymer coatings for advancing fluorescent nanodiamonds are presented as unique magneto‐optic materials for biomedical applications by Y. Wu, F. Jelezko, T. Weil, and co‐workers on page 6576. The coatings—derived from a human protein—provide high biocompatibility and can be modified with various functional entities. Excellent colloidal and fluorescence stabilities allow monitoring of drug distribution and release processes, offering great prospects for theranostics.
