Biomimetic and flexible bamboo‐like hybrid fibers are produced using a novel one‐step strategy. By combining a droplet microfluidic technique with a wet‐spinning process, biocompatible microfibers are incorporated with polymer spheres or multicellular spheroids. As a result of the controllability of this approach, it has potential applications in materials science and tissue engineering.
