Abstract
Bioinspired multicompartmental microfibers are generated by novel capillary microfluidics. The resultant microfibers possess multicompartment body-and-shell compositions with specifically designed geometries. Potential use of these microfibers for tissue-engineering applications is demonstrated by creating multifunctional fibers with a spatially controlled encapsulation of cells.Keywords: bioinspired materials; cell-encapsulation; core-shell structures; hydrogels; microfibers; microfluidics; tissue engineering
