N. Gadegaard and co‐workers report on page 815 a nanofabricated thermoplastic substrate with ultra‐high aspect ratio nanopillars. This substrate, formed via injection molding, is used to enhance the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells. The nanostructured surface results in a softer substrate, which mimics the natural extracellular environment.
