A new 3D‐printing method integrates genetically programmed bacterial cells into large‐scale, high‐resolution living materials and devices, as demonstrated by Xuanhe Zhao and co‐workers in article number 1704821 . In the 3D‐printed active structure, genetically engineered cells and some signaling chemicals act as responsive components and can communicate and process signals in a programmable manner.
