In article 1600126, Sergio E. Moya and co‐workers describe thermal annealing of polyelectrolyte multilayers of poly‐L‐lysine and alginate at 37 °C, remarkably improving cell adhesion for human lung cancer A549 and myoblast C 2 C 12 cell lines, as observed from the cell spreading area and focal contact formation. Thermal annealing results in stiffer and smother multilayers with larger contact angles and a more hydrophobic character.
