In article number 1707306 , Younan Xia and co‐workers report the design and fabrication of a hierarchically structured scaffold to mimic the native interface between tendon and bone. The delicately established mineral gradient at the scaffold interface promotes the graded differentiation of seeded stem cells into tenocytes and osteoblasts, respectively, thereby holding great promise in tendon‐to‐bone repair.
