On page 7572, P. A. Netti and co‐workers describe a novel technique to emboss topographic patterns on light‐responsive azopolymer based surfaces. Surface features are introduced dynamically and with precise spatio‐temporal control. The approach promises to overcome the limit of conventional cell culture platforms, thus allowing for investigating complex biological process occurring at the cell‐material interface.
