The article is available free online at the Tissue Engineering website (http:\/\/www.liebertpub.com\/ten<\/a>). <\/p>\n \"Cell printing is one of the breakthrough technologies that will make the application of stem cells for tissue engineering feasible,\" says John Jansen, DDS, PhD, Methods Co-Editor-in-Chief and Professor and Chairman, Department of Biomaterials, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center, The Netherlands. <\/p>\n Yu Fang and colleagues, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, combined two microscale techniques to dispense and position cells in a variety of patterns. They then demonstrated the ability to use these 3-dimensional cell systems to monitor cell signaling events known to have a role in the growth, proliferation, and metastasis of cancer cells. The authors describe the use of sound waves to deliver microdroplets of cells and polymer-based phase separation to control cell placement in the article \"Rapid Generation of Multiplexed Cell Co-Cultures Using Acoustic Droplet Ejection Followed by Aqueous Two-phase Exclusion Patterning.\" (http:\/\/online.liebertpub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1089\/ten.TEC.2011.0709<\/a>) <\/p>\n ### <\/p>\n About the Journal <\/p>\n Tissue Engineering (http:\/\/www.liebertpub.com\/ten<\/a>) is an authoritative peer-reviewed journal published monthly in print and online in three parts: Part A--the flagship journal; Part BReviews; and Part CMethods.
