Three‐dimensional chemical scaffolds are achieved by the diffusion of chemicals through precisely patterned polyhedral containers. In their Communication on page 2549 ff., D. H Gracias et al. describe strategies to control the chemical release and consequently demonstrate chemotactic self‐assembly of living cells (E. coli) to express green fluorescent protein in helical patterns.
