Biofabrication strategies have made significant steps toward overcoming the clinical challenges of peripheral nerve repair. Many activities have focused on emulating the structural features of native nerve tissue which promote nerve regeneration, resulting in the development of a variety of fabrication techniques. In article number 1701164 , Lorenzo Moroni and co‐workers discuss the most relevant approaches, highlight their biomimetic character, and assess performance in achieving nerve repair.
