In article number 1804483 , Lei Dong, Chunming Wang, and co‐workers report that a type of yeast (shown in green), commonly used for beer brewery, can instruct macrophages to secrete an array of cytokines, stimulating osteoplast growth (shown in brown). Chemically linking this yeast to titanium, a metal used for dental/bone implants, improves integration of the ‘foreign’ titanium material in host tissue in mice.
