Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>We have presented, for the first time, hydrogels</bold> that can be directed and assembled into 3D constructs by exploiting their magnetic properties without using magnetic particles. We have performed experimental and theoretical analyses to describe hydrogel motion in a fluidic environment under a magnetic field. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1ts4zjd5" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
