Description
Summary:The development of materials that mimic the shape and mechanical properties of biological cells remains exceedingly challenging using traditional synthetic approaches. In article number 1800285, Bryan Kaehr and co‐workers address this challenge by replicating biological cells, first, into a porous glass that is subsequently used to template a synthetic, soft hydrogel that mimics both the shape and elasto‐mechanical properties of living cells.
