This study introduces a new biopatterning approach based on magnetic manipulation of cells with a bioink that consists alginate, cells, and magnetic nanoparticles. Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken experimental design models were used to optimize bioink formulation where NIH-3T3 cells were utilized as a model cell line. The patterning capability was confirmed by light microscopy through 7 days culture time. Then, biopatterned 3D cardiac structures were formed using H9c2 cardiomyocyte cells. Cellular and extracellular components, F-actin and collagen Type I, and cardiac-specific biomarkers, Troponin T and MYH6, of biopatterned 3D cardiac structures were observed successfully. Moreover, Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity was investigated for developed 3D model, and IC50 value was calculated as 8.1 μM for biopatterned 3D cardiac structures, which showed higher resistance against DOX-exposure compared to conventional two-dimensional cell culture. Hereby, developed biopatterning methodology proved to be a simple and rapid approach to fabricate 3D cardiac models, especially for drug screening applications.

Decay in myelin sheath is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer disease. Although its primary purpose is to insulate and accelerate the neuronal impulse, very few studies focused on the geometrical aspect of myelination in neuronal function. Here, we developed a versatile platform to study the effect of myelin topography and alignment on the neuronal signal transmission.
