Abstract
Micro- and nanoscale technologies have emerged as powerful tools in the fabrication of engineered tissues and organs. Here we focus on the application of these techniques to improve engineered tissue architecture and function using modular and directed self-assembly and highlight the emergence of this new class of materials for biomedical applications.
