The cover picture showsa simple and effective way to construct a 2D microarray of 10 000 hepatocyte heterospheroids, underlaid with endothelial cells, through a combination of surface PEG treatment and subsequent microfabrication of plasma etching. The micropatterned PEG‐treated region works to repel proteins and consequently inhibits cell adhesion, while the glass circular domains (Ø=100 μm), separated by PEG‐treated regions (l=100 μm), provide cell adhesive regions. This spheroid array is very useful as a platform for tissue and cell‐based biosensors, which can be used as an alternative to animal experiments in a variety of situations. For more details, see the article by Kataoka et al. on p. 850 ff.
