A small company called Nano3D Biosciences, working with Rainbow Coral Corp via a joint venture, has made a breakthrough in regards to breast cancer research using a 3D bioprinting technique. Using their NanoShuttle technology, within a machine they call the Bio-Assembler, Nano3D is able to create 3-dimensional breast cancer tissue via the manipulation of cells using magnetic nanoparticles. The Bio-Assembler works within a common petri-dish or multiwell plate with any cell type. The tissue can then be imaged and studied similarly to that of any other microtissue.
