In article number 1900390, Richard J. Williams, David R. Nisbet, and co‐workers report on a peptide hydrogel programmed for the minimally invasive transplantation of stem cells. The cell‐laden droplets formed by the hydrogel protect cells during syringe administration. The hydrogel then ‘switches’ to offer long‐term bioactive support. These insights will have a significant impact for tissue repair, biofabrication, drugs, and cellinstructive 3D cultures.
