In article number 1900030 , Jingxin Meng, Shutao Wang, and co‐workers prepare non‐adhesive templates with defined geometries by laser etching, which can be used to controllably organize 3D cellular aggregates in vitro. The self‐organization of cells from simple to complex aggregates reveals the synergistic effect of multiscale topography from confined templates at the macroscale and cell interactions at the nanoscale.
