The SEM of the cover displays a migrating cell on high aspect ratio polymer nanopillars showing typical lamellipodia protrusions. On page 5599, I. Rodríguez and co‐workers describe very distinct morphological and migratory responses of neural stem cells on dense high aspect ratio micro or nano scale polymer pillars. The topography is an effective in vitro tool to probe cellular and nuclear biomechanics.
