Abstract :
In this paper, a novel methodology with which to construct 3D in vivo-like tissues using magnetite nanoparticles and a magnetic force, which we call magnetic force-based tissue engineering "Mag-TE" was developed. This methodology, which allows the spatial control of target cells and the adherence of heterotypic cells using magnetic force, should be applied to tissue engineering for complex 3D tissues.
