Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1901397, Yu Shrike Zhang, Ai‐Zheng Chen, and co‐workers fabricate highly open porous microspheres (HOPMs) using a microfluidic technique for harboring skeletal myoblasts towards cell delivery applications in situ. The structure of the HOPMs conveniently provides a favorable microenvironment for cell adhesion and proliferation, improved cell retention and vascularization, as well as partial myoblast differentiation. These modular cell‐laden microcarriers potentially allow for in situ tissue construction after minimally invasive delivery, providing a convenient means for regeneration medicine.
