The frontispiece shows living B lymphocytes captured on a microcantilever‐arrayed biochip. Antibodies targeting cellular antigens are pyrrole modified and then electropolymerized into polypyrrole films on a gold surface. The arrayed feature size is close to a lymphocyte size and thus allows efficient cell capture and organization. Gold layers can thus be arrayed in a predetermined manner, which give access to organized blood cells on surfaces. Each line is separated from the other by 50 µm. For more information, please read the Communication “Individual Blood‐Cell Capture and 2D Organization on Microarrays” by Y. Roupioz, L. Nicu, et al., beginning on page 1492 .
