Abstract
Inside Back Cover: The cover image is based on the Research Article High-throughput generation of aqueous two-phase microcapsules using microfluidic bubble triggering by Rao et al.
Cover description: This cover image illustrates the rapid generation of aqueous two-phase droplets enabled by air-assisted microfluidics. The introduction of air bubbles imposes additional mechanical perturbations on the highly viscous aqueous phases, greatly facilitating droplet breakup and formation. Upon generation, the droplets spontaneously adopt a core–shell architecture, which can be subsequently converted into stable microcapsules through UV-induced gelation. These microcapsules provide a robust and versatile platform for biosensing, organoid culture, and high-throughput screening applications. (DOI: 10.1002/dro2.70034)
