In article number 2001800 by Nicholas A. Peppas, Indranil Sinha, Ali Tamayol, and co‐workers, the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) delivered intradermally using liquid jet injectors and miniaturized needle arrays on wound healing is investigated in mouse and pig models. Miniaturized needle arrays facilitate proper drug distribution within the tissue and improve the rate and quality of wound healing.
