Front Cover: Well‐defined phosphorylcholine‐modified chitosan (CH‐PC) films are elaborated and carefully characterized by F. M. Winnik and co‐workers on page 490 . Surface topography, zeta potential, and protein adsorption are investigated as a function of phosphorylcholine content. It is shown that screening phosphorylcholine content, cell adhesion can be controlled, and eventually CH‐PC films can support the formation of cell aggregation.
