Clay hydrogels are able to localize biological molecules for the generation of regenerative microenvironments. Richard O.C. Oreffo and co‐workers report on clay–gel microcapsules that are sprayed into media containing DNA (DAPI‐labeled) or albumin (FITC‐labeled) and, following a 30 minute incubation, are sub‐encapsulated within a host clay gel capsule, illustrating the potential of this approach.
