A novel conductive bioink containing dispersed gold nanoparticles in a photocrosslinkable hydrogel matrix is developed for microfluidic bioprinting of cardiomyocyteladen microfibrous scaffolds. As described by Su Ryon Shin, Ali Khademhosseini, and co‐workers in article number 1605352, increased conductivity of the bioink leads to improved functionality of cardiomyocytes in the bioprinted patches, enabling potential applications in cardiac tissue engineering.
