On page 4521, J. Fu and co‐workers develop a technology termed Vacuum‐Pressure Accelerated Movement (V‐PAM) capable of significantly enhancing transport of viscous biofluids (such as hydrogels and unprocessed whole blood) in complex microfluidic environments containing dead‐end channels and closed chambers. The cover image shows the rapid filling of dyed solutions in a leaf venation microfluidic network using the V‐PAM technology.
