Position-controllable cell culture substrate for adherent cells

Cell patterning technology is used to understand single- cell morphology and cell-cell interactions and can also be used to capture cells and control their position. However, most research has focused on floating cells and cell-like particles rather than on adherent cells. In this study, we propose a technique that can control the position of adherent cells with an external field. This technique allows cell-cell networks of any shape to be constructed and may contribute to the construction of neuronal networks.
