Abstract

One of the current challenges in tissue engineering is to produce functional 3D tissue models which recapitulate complex, physiological structures; often, these structures ultimately determine tissue function. To address this, we previously developed platforms to engineer aligned tissues with improved function and structurally organized, scaffold-free 3D tissues. However, a high-throughput method to produce 3D tissues would allow for scalability of our platform for applications in drug screening and disease modeling. Towards this goal, here we report a new method for producing structured three-dimensional tissue enabled by combining our thermoresponsive, nanofabricated substrata (TNFS) and magnetic cell levitation using iron oxide nanoparticles.
