Front Cover : Dragline silk proteins of the European Garden spider are the basis for recombinant spider silk proteins. Spider silk hydrogels are used as matrix for cell encapsulation and 3D bioprinting into stable scaffolds. With spider silk bioinks complex shapes can be printed such as a human aortic valve. This is reported by Annika Lechner, Vanessa T. Trossmann, and Thomas Scheibel in article number 2100390.
