In article number 1801181 by Zhilian Yue, Patrick T. Coates, Gordon G. Wallace, and co‐workers, a coaxial bioprinting platform is developed for fabrication of islet‐containing constructs. With precision control over the location of multiple cells, the coaxial printed constructs may provide protection to the encapsulated islets in the core while simultaneously delivering multiple supporting cells into the shell. This novel strategy has the potential to improve revascularization and provide immune‐protection to the implanted islets.
