Nanoporous gold can be produced by a facile self‐assembly process that is compatible with conventional microfabrication techniques. On page 172 , Erkin Seker and co‐workers demonstrate this material's biocom‐patibility and its capability to deliver drugs for modulating cellular response. The cover image, acquired with a high‐resolution scanning electron microscope, illustrates an astrocyte latching onto the grooves of a nanoporous gold surface.
