Bioprinting microporous functional living materials from protein-based core-shell microgels

Extrusion bioprinting can be used to produce living materials but controlling cell microenvironments is challenging. Here, the authors use a type of core-shell microgel ink that decouples cell culture from material processing to produce functional materials with a range of potential applications.
