Basic research has been conducted on the three-dimensional formation and manipulation of magnetic gel-beads in the magnetic field for the formation of cell tissues such as blood vessels. Magnetic gel-beads were doped with magnetic nano-particles in alginate capsules. We formed chain-like clusters of gel-beads in the magnetic field and demonstrated that cylindrical three-dimensional patterns about 500 μm in diameter was formed by accumulating gel-bead chains on a two-dimensional magnetic circular pattern of magnetic seed particles. A micro manipulator was also developed to manipulate individual gel-bead.
