In article number 1602769, H. Yu, L. Liu, and co‐workers demonstrate a Tetris‐inspired approach to fabricate 3D heterogeneous microscale tissue from hydrogel building blocks. The investigated system combines optofluidic maskless lithography and optically induced dielectrophoresis (ODEP). The customized bio‐microstructures in Tetris shapes are dynamically synthesized using an optofluidic maskless lithography system and then transferred to an optically induced electrokinetics (OEK) chip for manipulation and assembly.
