Recent research in the field of LbL assembly is summarized and categorized as fabrication, sensing, drug release/delivery, and cell technology. Special emphasis is given to topics such as cell‐membrane‐mimic assembly, fabrication of free‐standing biomolecular structures including protein microtubes, detection of DNA adducts and reactive metabolites, DNA hybridization analysis, sensing of toxic and bio‐active chemicals, entrapment of proteins and DNA, biocomponent carriers with barcode encoding, release and delivery of DNA plasmids, multiagent delivery, smart defense capsules and oxidation‐resistant films, vector introduction to cells, patterned cell culturing and microfluidic microreactors, stem cell differentiation, cellular uptake and degradation, and control of cellular apoptosis.
