The cover picture shows mussel's adhesion on graphene oxide and their scaffolds for attachment of drug molecules and cells in hydrogel. The bioadhesion‐inspired surface priming in parallel with acrylation on graphene oxide enabled to crosslink with polyethylene glycol (PEG), then aromatic drug could be released in a sustained manner. In the hydrogel, bone cells expressed higher TGF‐β and fibronectin indicating that the cell adhesion and growth for hydrogel‐based scaffolds were enhanced. The cover picture was designed by CUBE3D Graphic. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Sungbaek Seo et al. (DOI: 10.1002/slct.202000205).
