The initial stages of cell alignment in response to surface topography can be largely described in terms of the work of adhesion encountered by a classical liquid droplet during spreading on a rough surface. This is manifested through a striking correlation between degree of cell alignment and anisotropic wetting of water droplets on the same topographical surfaces.
