In article number 2010169, Simmyung Yook, Jee‐Heon Jeong, and co‐workers develop a simple and facile method for conformal hydrogel coating of living cells, mini‐organs, and biomedical devices. The thickness of the hydrogel layer can be precisely controlled from several to hundreds of micrometers. This method overcomes inevitable challenges in cell encapsulation and enables the engineering of 3D hydrogels for tissue engineering or delivery of therapeutic cells and drugs.
