Frontispiece : Antifouling polymer brushes are grown from biodegradable poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) nanofibers. The nanofibers modified with protein repellent brushes are able to greatly suppress cell adhesion. Fibroblasts are repelled from the nanofibers coated with brushes while the cells could rapidly adhere and form cell‐matrix adhesions on pristine nanofibers. Further details can be found in the article by Nina Yu. Kostina et al. on page 83 .
