Abstract

Abstract : A novel and modular super‐assembly approach combines the synergistic advantages of metal–organic cage super‐assemblies (e.g., highly controlled architecture, high payloads of multiple cargos) and micelles (e.g., low inherent toxicity) for targeted drug delivery is presented by Wei Zhu, C. Jeffrey Brinker, and co‐workers in article number1806774 . By modification of the targeting moieties, targeted drug delivery to cancer cells is realized.
