The cover demonstrates a general approach to construct electrical conducting polymer nano‐networks which allow cells to attach to the surface and proliferate. By controlling the oxidation polymerization and assembling rate, functionalized poly(3,4‐ethylen edioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nano‐networks are constructed. They display very low cytotoxicity and enable cell growth on top of the nanostructures. This provide a promising platform for cell engineering. Further details can be found in the article by Hsiao‐hua Yu et. al. on page B423 .
