Compartmentalized protocell objects immobilized in 3D hydrogels provide a step towards the modular assembly of soft functional materials. In their Research Article on page 6853, J. Liu, M. Li, S. Mann, and co‐workers present the development of modular hydrogel‐based microreactor assemblies comprising millions of polysaccharide–polynucleotide coacervate droplets. An input/output module was used to implement a UV‐induced cascade reaction with a spatiotemporal fluorescence read‐out.
