Abstract

Abstract : A new take on membranes for vascular modeling. In article1804111, James L. McGrath, Thomas R. Gaborski, and co‐workers lithographically fabricate dual‐scale (nano‐ and micro‐porous) membranes from ultrathin (100 nm) silicon nitride nanomembranes to support human endothelial cell culture for vascular modeling at the lab bench. Micropores provide transmigration routes for studying immune, cancer, and stem cell egress through the vascular wall.
