Biocompatible anisotropic polymer particles with bipolar affinity towards human endothelial cells are a novel type of building blocks for microstructured biohybrid materials, report Joerg Lahann and co‐workers on p. 4920 . Functional polarity due to two biologically distinct hemispheres has been achieved by synthesis of anisotropic particles via electro‐hydrodynamic co‐jetting of two different polymer solutions and subsequent selective surface modification.
