Abstract

F. Xu and co‐workers successfully fabricate cell‐laden hydrogel fibers on page 5999, using a simple, facile, high‐throughput, and mechanical‐based method, inspired by fabrication process of Chinese noodles. Muscle myotubes are generated in 3D hydrogel fibers under mechanical strain. Such an approach holds the potential to create functional tissue constructs and help in understand the mechanobiological responses of cells in 3D.
