Abstract

Abstract : In article number1700052, Sahika Inal, Róisín M. Owens, and co‐workers present a conducting polymer scaffold, which supports three‐dimensional co‐culture of multiple cell types due to its biocompatibility, porous architecture, and tissue‐like elasticity. The growth of cells/tissue inside the conducting polymer scaffold affects its electrical properties, which is a parameter used to monitor cell growth. The scaffold thus plays a dual role: hosting and monitoring cells. The cover was designed by Heno Hwang, scientific illustrator, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.
