Magnetic Fields Guide Lab-Grown Blood Vessels Into Precise Patterns for Drug Testing
Researchers at the Institute of Physical Chemistry (IPC PAS) and the University of Warsaw have created a magnetic‑field‑driven system that arranges endothelial‑cell‑coated microparticles into predefined lattices, prompting the growth of microvascular networks with precise architecture. By using super‑paramagnetic beads and micromagnets, the spacing between sprouts can be tuned, enabling reproducible, scalable tissue models. The platform was validated for vascularized tumor constructs and high‑throughput anti‑angiogenic drug screening, supported by automated image analysis. Published in Lab on a Chip, the work promises a human‑relevant alternative to animal testing for drug development.
