The cover picture shows a photograph of a human iris with a sketch of a generation four poly(glycerol‐succinic acid) dendrimer centered over the pupil. Can dendritic polymers be used in eye surgery? M. W. Grinstaff describes the synthesis and characterization of dendritic macromolecules composed of biocompatible monomers and the use of these polymers to repair corneal lacerations on p. 2838ff.
