Self‐orienting hydrogel micro‐buckets were developed and used to carry living cells. In their Communication on page 547 ff., J. H. van Esch and co‐workers report on the self‐orientation of crescent‐shaped hydrogel microparticles and elucidate its mechanism. Additionally, the microparticles were used as cell carriers for cell loading, transport, proliferation, and release in vitro.
