Clickable microgel scaffolds as platforms for 3D cell encapsulation are described in article number 1700254 by Kristi S. Anseth and co‐workers. Microgel “building blocks” are designed and assembled in the presence of cells to create polymer‐cell composites. Cell growth within the network can be controlled and directed by altering microgel size.
