Overall, magnetic 3D bioprinting is an effective tool to create faithful models of native tissue.

In the future, magnetic 3D bioprinting could be applied to the field of regenerative medicine and organogenesis.

The term "bioink" has been used as a broad classification of materials that are compatible with 3D bioprinting.

The methods used for 3D bioprinting of cells are photolithography, magnetic bioprinting, stereolithography, and direct cell extrusion.

Furthermore, Magnetic 3D Bioprinting can use human cells to approximate a human in vivo response better than with an animal model.

The company utilizes its NovoGen MMX Bioprinter for 3D bioprinting.

Magnetic 3D bioprinting is a methodology that employs biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles to print cells into 3D structures or 3D cell cultures.

In 2013, the company Organovo produced a human liver using 3D bioprinting, though it is not suitable for transplantation, and has primarily been used as a medium for drug testing.

It has been a pleasure to serve on the Organovo board and to push the company forward in unlocking the tremendous potential of 3D bioprinting," said Andras Forgacs.

"Enterprises interested in these technologies should look to bioacoustic sensing, quantified self, 3D bioprinting, brain-computer interface, human augmentation, speech-to-speech translation, neurobusiness, wearable user interfaces, augmented reality and gesture control," the report says.

The target users for magnetic 3D bioprinting are in the pharmaceutical and CRO industries, where this system can be integrated early in the drug discovery process as a compound screen for toxicity and efficacy.

Specifically in the area of tissue engineering, CDI's iCell and MyCell products are being employed across a variety of technologies, such as implantable devices, de-cellularized organ reconstitution and 3D bioprinting.

Magnetic 3D Bioprinting can be used to screen for cardiovascular toxicity, which accounts for 30% of drug withdrawals Vascular smooth muscle cells are magnetically printed into 3D rings to mimic blood vessels that can contract and dilate.
