Hydrogel microbeads hold great promise for immune-protective cell transplants and in vitro studies. Millifluidic generation of hydrogel microbeads is a highly efficient and reproducible approach enabling a mass production. This paper illustrates the preparation and characterization of highly controlled and reproducible microbeads made by different types of hydrogel using millifluidic approaches. The optimization of the process was made by a design of experiments (DoE) approach. The microbeads' large-scale production can be potentially used for single cells or clusters encapsulation.

High transductive loss at tissue injury sites impedes repair. The high dissipation characteristics in the electromechanical conversion of piezoelectric biomaterials pose a challenge. Therefore, supramolecular engineering and microfluidic technology is utilized to introduce slide-ring polyrotaxane and conductive polypyrrole to construct stress-electric coupling hydrogel microspheres.

As common complications of diabetes, long-term hyperglycemia and inflammatory infiltration often lead to prolonged unhealing of chronic diabetic wounds. The natural hydrogel-containing plant polysaccharides were recorded to have effective hypoglycemic and anti-inflammatory effects. This study focused on the accelerating effect of diabetic wound healing of hydrogels doped with polysaccharide (DOP)─calcium carbonate (CaCO) microspheres, which have glucose-responsive insulin release and anti-inflammatory effects.

Bone, cartilage, and soft tissue regeneration is a complex process involving many cellular activities across various cell types. Autografts remain the "gold standard" for the regeneration of these tissues. However, the use of autografts is associated with many disadvantages, including donor scarcity, the requirement of multiple surgeries, and the risk of infection.
