Description
Summary:Front Cover: In article 1900585, Elda Hegmann, Robert John Clements, and co‐workers design 3D liquid crystal elastomer (3D‐LCE) foams with micro‐channels similar to endogenous brain parenchymal arterioles, which support long‐term neuronal cultures for over 60 days, providing a unique environment to longitudinally study spatial neuronal function. Cells respond to a chemical cue to stimulate neuritic outgrowth that results in a threefold increase in length and morphologies indicative of mature neurons.
