Abstract

Abstract : Natural‐based and biomimetic multilayer membranes, whose surface resembles the nanotopography of the native extracellular matrix, are able to induce cellular alignment along with the pattern direction. João F. Mano and co‐workers use a simple layer‐by‐layer technology to produce such platforms, that can be a promising system to control cell behavior and to regenerate tissues, in article number1601462 .
