Biomaterial Fibrin Clot Structures Stylized fibrin clots are presented in article number 2100988 by Anna Waterhouse and co‐workers. Less dense clots on hydrophobic (right) compared to hydrophilic (left) polystyrene are more easily lysed, demonstrating potential for targeted fibrinolytic treatment and improved hemocompatible device design.
