A novel strategy to directly bioprint cell‐laden gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) constructs using bioinks of GelMA physical gels (GPGs) is developed by Ali Khademhosseini, Yu Shrike Zhang, and co‐workers in article number 1601451 . Attributed to their shear‐thinning and self‐healing properties, GPG bioinks containing down to 3% GelMA can retain the shape and form integral structures after deposition, allowing for subsequent UV crosslinking for chemical stabilization.
