Abstract

Abstract : In article number 2009619, Tiago R. Correia, João F. Mano, and co‐workers develop a new type of hybrid cells. Individual human adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cells are partially coated with a hard silica layer and display enhanced single‐cell survival and functionality in suspension conditions. Moreover, the ability of functionalizing silica backpacks unlocks the potential application of this novel system in a wide range of applications from biosensing to drug delivery and microtissue formation.
