A new conceptual injectable and radiopaque liquid metal/calcium alginate (LM/CA) hydrogel is proposed and demonstrated in article number 1903421 by Jing Liu and co‐workers for endovascular embolization and tumor embolotherapy. It is shown that such a hydrogel displays high flexibility and radiopacity due to the introduction of LM droplets. It also owns excellent biocompatibility and hemocompatibility to facilitate future clinical applications regarding endovascular embolization. A series of in vivo animal experiments on the LM/CA hydrogel for innovative tumor embolotherapy achieve rather promising therapeutic effects.
