Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adhm201570002-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Recent applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have highlighted the utility of microfluidic fiber fabrication. On page 11 M. A. Daniele and team show how this process uses microflow shaping to generate a core‐sheath profile, which can be subsequently solidified into microfibers of various shapes and chemistries, providing the capability to incorporate and organize both fragile biomolecules and cell‐cultures within individual fibers and bioactive textiles. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh30v90c0d" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
