In article number 1700243 , Naam‐Joon Cho and co‐workers develop a mechanically tunable substrate for cell adhesion studies. Single cell adhesion on extracellular matrix protein functionalized lipid bilayer is depicted to introduce a new method to evaluate cell‐substrate interaction on low rigidity substrates, which closely mimic the physiological environment. In this particular case, a unique reorganization of the ECM protein is characterized with cell adhesion on the experimental platform.
