Abstract
Front Cover: This image is inspired by the Chinese classic sayings from the Works of Mencius that “I like fish and I like bear's paw, but sometimes I have to choose between them”. Mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) provides a platform for the secondary surface modification and allows the materials exhibit both satisfying biocompatibility (like the fish) and bone-promoting properties (like the bear's paw). This is reported by Ting Ma, Chen-Xi Wang, Xi-Yuan Ge, and Yu Zhang in article number 2300067.
