Exploring and exploiting chemistry at the cell surface
When cells interact with an artificial surface, the result is a rapidly evolving and complex interface. This Perspective discusses how expressing the properties of both the cell and the substrate in chemical terms can aid in future material design. We also explore the importance of using multifunctional surfaces with quantitative, dynamic capabilities.

A hop, skip and jump
A model based on the well-known β-cyclodextrin–adamantane receptor–ligand pair has been used to obtain important insight into the kinetics of gradient-driven motion across a surface.
