The use of hydrogel scaffolds for developing in vitro patient‐specific tissue and organ models using human‐derived cells is a powerful platform for studying the mechanism of disease initiation and progression, screening of potential drug candidates, and ultimately, the regeneration of fully functional tissues and organs. In article number 1701165 , Murat Guvendiren and co‐workers review the current developments in hydrogel‐based in vitro tissue models and fabrication techniques, with particular focus on liver and cancer tissues.
