Tuning Cellular Perception in Pluripotent Stem Cells through Topography, Stiffness, and Patterning
Micro‐ and nanotopographical cues, substrate stiffness, and mechanical patterning synergistically direct pluripotent stem cell fate and function by tuning cellular perception at the biointerface. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), comprised of embryonic stem cells and induced PSCs, hold tremendous therapeutic potential.

Core–Shell Droplet Generation in an On‐Chip Temperature Gradient
We present a microfluidic device and associated heating–cooling setup for the generation of glycerol monostearate (GMS)‐coated oil droplets. Droplets are generated on‐chip by flow focusing at 60°C, followed by rapid cooling to 6°C. The generated particles range in size from 13 to 49 µm and remain stable for several days at 4°C.
