Abstract
A new biomaterial (M‐gel) is developed by incorporating magnetic nanoparticles into microscopic hydrogels. The material maintains the biocompatibility of the hydrogels, while contributing additional capabilities for culture and magnetic manipulation. These M‐gels can be used as building blocks to create 3D complex multilayer constructs using external magnetic fields.Keywords
