Front Cover: Mussel‐inspired poly(dopamine) coating can directly facilitate attachment, spreading, and phenotypic maintenance of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) without any help of additional extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Endogenous fibronectin and α 5 β 1 integrin play important roles in the cell adhesion process. Further details can be found in the article by J.‐L. Wang, K.‐F. Ren,* H. Chang, F. Jia, B.‐C. Li, Y. Ji, and J. Ji* on page 483 .
