Cell Alignment Strategies for Organ-on-Chip Technologies The functionalities of organs and tissues are tightly linked with their structure and, the organisation of constituent cells. Cues from the surrounding extracellular matrix direct the orientation and alignment of cells with respect to one another through contact guidance [1]. This microenvironment is crucial in dictating cell fate; affecting
