Cover: The cover picture shows an electrospinning set‐up having a second electric field applied perpendicular to the primary electric field. This is done in order to compress the bending pathway in one direction to assist alignment of the electrospun fiber as it deposits onto a collector. A digital photograph shows electrospun PLLA fiber collected onto a parallel electrodes collector, and a Fourier Transform image shows the quality of the alignment. Further details can be found in the article by M. Acharya, G. K. Arumugam, * and P. A. Heiden * on page 666.
