Endothelial cells (EC) play key physiologic and pathologic roles. In article 1601410 , Ke‐feng Ren and co‐workers report a surface with mechanical adaptability based on the thin polyelectrolyte film that can respond to cell‐secreted matrix metalloproteinases. The data demonstrates that such system showed distinguished superiority to promote EC growth and functionality.
