J. A. Lewis and co‐workers report on page 3124 a new bio‐printing method for fabricating 3D tissue constructs replete with vasculature, multiple types of cells, and extracellular matrix. These intricate, heterogeneous structures are created by precisely co‐printing multiple materials, known as bio‐inks, in three dimensions. These 3D microengineered environments open new avenues for drug screening and tissue engineering. Cover image by Helena Sue Martin, David Kolesky, and Jennifer Lewis (Harvard University).
