Current bioinks for cell‐based 3D bioprinting are not suitable for technology scale‐up due to the challenges of cell sedimentation, cell membrane damage, and cell dehydration. A new self‐assembling bio‐ink is designed to enable 3D bio‐printing of multiple cell types into an aqueous bath on page 2488 by Sarah C. Heilshorn and co‐workers, to overcome these three major hurdles. Artwork designed by Karen Dubbin and Nick Suhar.
