title: Use of magnetic forces to promote stem cell aggregation during differentiation, and cartilage tissue modeling.
abstract: Magnetic forces induce cell condensation necessary for stem cell differentiation into cartilage and elicit the formation of a tissue-like structure: Magnetically driven fusion of aggregates assembled by micromagnets results in the formation of a continuous tissue layer containing abundant cartilage matrix.
