“…They used mulberry leaves mixed with rhodamine and then obtained the fibroin, which is the commercial part of the silk with excellent properties such as smoothness, by removing the sericin that surrounds the fibroin through a degumming process. This method does not require additional cost for energy, water, or chemical source for silk fabrication compared to a feeding method and is also environmentally friendly …”

Advances in material science and nanotechnology have fostered the miniaturization of devices. Over the past two decades, the form‐factor of these devices has evolved from 3D rigid, volumetric devices through 2D film‐based flexible electronics, finally to 1D fiber electronics (fibertronics). In this regard, fibertronic strategies toward wearable applications (e.g., electronic textiles (e‐textiles)) have attracted considerable attention thanks to their capability to impart various functions into textiles with retaining textiles' intrinsic properties as well as imperceptible irritation by foreign matters. In recent years, extensive research has been carried out to develop various functional devices in the fiber form. Among various features, lighting and display features are the highly desirable functions in wearable electronics. This article discusses the recent progress of materials, architectural designs, and new fabrication technologies of fiber‐shaped lighting devices and the current challenges corresponding to each device's operating mechanism. Moreover, opportunities and applications that the revolutionary convergence between the state‐of‐the‐art fibertronic technology and age‐long textile industry will bring in the future are also discussed.

“…With the combination of biocompatible materials and 3D structure characteristics, 3D biomaterials are anticipated to provide biomimetic 3D cell culture platforms for tissue engineering. A variety of approaches have been proposed to prepare 3D biomaterials, such as electro‐jetting/‐spinning, micro‐molding, microfluidics, and 3D bio‐printing . By using these methods, biomaterials with 3D, biomimetic, and desired structures can be achieved .…”

Biomaterials have been widely explored and applied in many areas, especially in the field of tissue engineering. The interface of biomaterials and cells has been deeply investigated. However, it has been demonstrated that conventional 2D biomaterials fail to maintain the 3D structures and phenotypes of cells, which is the result of their limited ability to mimic the latter's complex extracellular matrix. To overcome this challenge, cell cultivation dependent on 3D biomaterials has emerged as an alternative strategy to make the recovery of 3D structures and functions of cells possible. Thus, with the thriving development of 3D cell culture in tissue engineering, a holistic review of the construction and application of 3D biomaterials is desired. Here, recent developments in 3D biomaterials for tissue engineering are reviewed. An overview of various approaches to construct 3D biomaterials, such as electro‐jetting/‐spinning, micro‐molding, microfluidics, and 3D bio‐printing, is first presented. Their typical applications in constructing cell sheets, vascular structures, cell spheroids, and macroscopic cellular constructs are described as well. Following these two sections, the current status and challenges are analyzed, as well as the future outlook of 3D biomaterials for tissue engineering.

“…For instance, by using a sacrificial ink such as Pluronic F127, perfusable hollow microfibers with viable seeded cells have been printed and used as constructs representing vascularized tissues; [15][16][17][18] By adopting microfluidic nozzles and programmable feeding systems, scaffolds assembled from vessel-like microfibers with controlled morphologies including core-shell, multilayered, and heterogeneously segmented morphologies have been fabricated. [7,[19][20][21][22] In extrusion 3D bioprinting, extruded inks are solidified instantly into 2D patterns, and then 2D patterns are assembled layer-by-layer into 3D structures. To fabricate freeform architectures of truly arbitrary design, such as gastric tracts, tubular tracheae, and tumor vessel networks, auxiliary structures are inevitable and need to be removed afterward.…”

Aqueous microstructures are challenging to create, handle, and preserve since their surfaces tend to shrink into spherical shapes with minimum surface areas. The creation of freeform aqueous architectures will significantly advance the bioprinting of complex tissue‐like constructs, such as arteries, urinary catheters, and tracheae. The generation of complex, freeform, three‐dimensional (3D) all‐liquid architectures using formulated aqueous two‐phase systems (ATPSs) is demonstrated. These all‐liquid microconstructs are formed by printing aqueous bioinks in an immiscible aqueous environment, which functions as a biocompatible support and pregel solution. By exploiting the hydrogen bonding interaction between polymers in ATPS, the printed aqueous‐in‐aqueous reconfigurable 3D architectures can be stabilized for weeks by the noncovalent membrane at the interface. Different cells can be separately combined with compartmentalized bioinks and matrices to obtain tailor‐designed microconstructs with perfusable vascular networks. The freeform, reconfigurable embedded printing of all‐liquid architectures by ATPSs offers unique opportunities and powerful tools since limitless formulations can be designed from among a breadth of natural and synthetic hydrophilic polymers to mimic tissues. This printing approach may be useful to engineer biomimetic, dynamic tissue‐like constructs for potential applications in drug screening, in vitro tissue models, and regenerative medicine.
