The cover picture shows a microfluidic device that can be used to detect interactions between red blood cells and endothelial cells using a gold pillar array and an integrated detection electrode. In order to study the cellular interactions, this work used a microfluidic device made of a PDMS chip with two adjacent channels and a polystyrene base with embedded electrodes for creating a membrane (via gold pillars) and detecting nitric oxide (at a glassy carbon electrode coated with platinum‐black and Nafion).
