Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201470298-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>On page 7295, F. Caruso and co‐workers report a mesoporous silica templating method for preparing super‐soft PEG particles. The elasticity of the particles can be tuned to mimic the deformability behaviour of human red blood cells in a microfluidic blood‐capillary model. These particles provide a new platform for investigating bio‐nano interactions. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh3m33ttb8" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
