Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In this Concept article, recent advances in microfluidic platforms for the generation of cell-laden hydrogel particles (microgels) are reported. Advances in the continuous microfluidic encapsulation of cells in droplets and microgels are critically reviewed, and currently used methods for the encapsulation of cells in polymer microgels are discussed. An outlook on current applications and future directions in this field of research are also presented. This article will be of interest to chemists, materials scientists, cell biologists, bioengineers, and pharmacologists.
