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.This work was supported by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and the Andalusian Initiative for Advanced Therapies (Ministry of Health of the Andalusian Regional Government).
