Graphene foam is used as a bioscaffold for ATDC5 chondrocyte progenitor cells. The elastic and viscoelastic properties of graphene foam grown by chemical vapor deposition, and graphene foam – soft tissue composites, are measured under unconfined compression. An increase in the compressive modulus is measured as the cells mature over 28 days. The cover image, presented by David Estrada and co‐workers, article 1800166 , is a confocal fluorescence microscopy image of ATDC5 cells penetrating a porous graphene foam scaffold, highlighting the potential of this emerging material as bioscaffold for cartilage tissue regeneration and treatment of osteoarthritis.
