title: Magnetic force-based tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
abstract: Among other biomedical applications, magnetic nanoparticles and liposomes have a vast field of applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Magnetic nanoparticles and liposomes, when introduced into cells to be cultured, maneuver the cell's positioning by the appropriate use of magnets to create more complex tissue structures than those that are achieved by conventional culture methods.
