The cover picture illustrates hierarchical nanostructures. Hexagonally ordered gold nanoparticle arrays with an interparticle distance of tens to hundreds of nanometers are micropatterned by conventional UV or electron‐beam lithography. In the next step, gold nanoparticles are used as anchor‐points to attach recombinant proteins allowing for the control of protein presentation at two different length scales. For more information, please read the Communication “Micro‐Nanostructured Protein Arrays: A Tool for Geometrically Controlled Ligand Presentation” by J. P. Spatz et al., beginning on page 1014 .
