Abstract

Abstract : In article number1900058, Kashfi and co‐workers develop a radio‐dense nanosystem composed of a tantalum oxide core and a gold decorated dendritic mesoporous silica shell. These nanoparticles specifically target peritoneal metastases, exhibit strong contrast on CT images, and can potentially serve as radiosensitizers for radiotherapy.
