Liquid crystalline collagen : a self-assembled morphology for the orientation of mammalian cells

We report the creation of collagen films having a cholesteric banding structure with an orientation that can be systematically controlled. The action of hydrodynamic flow and rapid desiccation was used to influence the orientation of collagen fibrils, producing a film with a twisted plywood architec...
