Magnetic hydrogels have recently been drawing a lot of attention in the scientific community due to their remote controllability and high biocompatibility. By combining these materials with a 3D bioprinting technique, it is possible to fabricate intricate structures responsive to an external magnetic stimulus, thus allowing the tuning of the constructs properties to better recapitulate the microarchitecture of native tissues. In this article recently published in the International Journal of Bioprinting, SCERG-iBB researchers BSc Duarte Almeida, Dr. Paola Sanjuan-Alberte, Dr. João C. Silva and Professor Frederico C. Ferreira provided an overview of the current state of the art of magnetic hydrogels, exploring the production of the magnetic components and their introduction in the hydrogels, and emphasizing the current research made on the applications of these materials for tissue engineering strategies.
