Pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate (PLP), an active form of vitamin B 6 , is demonstrated as a multifunctional compound for surface functionalization by S.‐W. Cho, H. Lee, and co‐workers on page 4754. The functionalized surfaces are hydrophilic and allow for covalent tethering of bioactive molecules, enhancing adhesion, migration, and proliferation of cells. This surface coating promotes the healing of biomedical devices by improving functionality and biocompatibility
