A silk fibroin bioink for the production of patient‐specific memory‐shape implants is proposed by Joaquim M. Oliveira and co‐workers in article number 1701021 using a fast setting enzymatic‐based cross‐linking reaction. The reproducibility and the reliability of this bioink allow the production of different scaffolds with superior mechanical performance. Its versatility gives new opportunity concerning tissue engineering approaches, in particular for the biofabrication of patient‐specific memory‐shape implants.
