“One Rocket, Multiple Satellites”: Natural Small Molecule Nanocarriers With In‐Situ Nanosphere‐to‐Nanofiber Transition for Combined Chemo/PDT/Anti‐Angiogenic Antitumor Therapy (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 5/2026)
Abstract
Natural Nanomaterials The cover is inspired by the Chinese tale of Sun Wukong, the “Great Sage Equaling Heaven,” and depicts him fiercely battling tumor cells. The golden hoop staff he wields forward represents the pentacyclic triterpenoid small molecule (NSM) for chemotherapy. The flame in his eyes symbolizes the nanomaterial's photodynamic therapy effect, and the little monkey stands for its anti-angiogenic function. These three roles jointly inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. More details can be found in the Research Article by Xin Yang and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202501960).
