Summary:Front Cover: In article number 1900412 by Ekaterina V. Skorb, Elena F. Krivoshapkina, and co‐workers, magnesium implants sonochemically treated in silk solution demonstrate significant improvement of corrosion resistance compared to control samples sonochemically treated in water. The deposition of a silk layer enhances the obtained corrosion resistance by 18 times, resulting in a 54‐fold increase overall. Thus, hybrid effects of sonochemical oxidative protection combined with silk assembly is promising for a new generation of bioinspired implants.
