In article number 1801469 by Manuel Salmerón‐Sánchez, Marco Cantini, and co‐workers, functional poly(ethyl acrylate) brushes grafted on a biodegradable poly lactic acid scaffold, via surface‐initiated atomic transfer radical polymerization, trigger the formation of fibronectin nanonetworks that target cell adhesion and differentiation for application in regenerative medicine. The cover image was prepared by Mark Robert Sprott and Sara Trujillo.
