Abstract

Superhydrophobic surfaces are found by J. F. Mano and co-workers to constitute a new, versatile, and cost-effective tool to produce engineered polymeric assemblies in mild conditions. As reported on page 3648, the resultant hierarchical carriers consist of microcarriers embedded in a polymeric matrix and allow the encapsulation of both proteins and cells with high efficiency rates. This work is expected to inspire the design of customizable systems to transport bioactive agents and cells in tissue engineering applications.
