    Copyright © 2022 The Author(s) and Wiley-VCH GmbH. Biomicrofluidic Models Biomicrofluidic models allow nanoparticle-cellular interactions to be studied under physiological flow conditions. Investigating nanoparticle biophysicochemical properties in models that resemble disease can provide valuable information about the nano-bio interface. By screening nanoparticles dynamically against a developed dysfunctional-endothelium-on chip model, Nazila Kamaly and co-workers show in article number 2100092 that nanoparticle size is a dominant factor beyond targeting ligands. Furthermore, tight junction disruption can be restored by the inflammation resolving mediator Annexin A1.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anbr.20227001
