On page 3207, R. Mezzenga and co‐workers demonstrate a human trabecular bone‐derived pre‐osteoblast cell growing and anchoring by filopodia and lamellipodia on top of a biomimetic bone hybrid composite made of lysozyme amyloid fibrils and hydroxyapatite platelets. Such spreading and focal adhesion complexes suggest a direct, integrin‐mediated connection of the cell cytoskeleton with the substrate.
