Microfluidics‐Assisted Osteogenesis: Injectable Stem Cell‐Laden Photocrosslinkable Microspheres Fabricated Using Microfluidics for Rapid Generation of Osteogenic Tissue Constructs (Adv. Funct. Mater. 17/2016)

A bone regeneration strategy with minimum invasiveness is developed on page 2809 by W. Cui, D. Weitz, and co-workers, using microfluidics-fabricated photocrosslinkable gelatin microspheres encapsulating bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and growth factors. The cell-laden microspheres are found to enhance and accelerate osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo, associated with a significant increase in mineralization.
