Jeong‐Yeol Yoon, Marvin J. Slepian, and co‐workers describe on page 1019 a novel method utilizing nanofabrication techniques to create surfaces with enhanced endothelial adhesion and retention under flow. The system utilizes nano texture, charge, and ligands all combined together, uniquely assembled on the substrata surface, to create ensemble nanotextured surfaces. This new method may be of particular utility for enhancing flow‐resistant endothelialization of cardiovascular devices.
