• organizations in living tissues [85]. For instance, Giraud–Guille and colleagues investigated hierarchically ordered surfaces of dense collagen in the cholesteric phase for the use of tissue regeneration templates for aligned cell growth with controlled functions [86]. The collagen fibrils, which are animal

• tissue-derived biopolymers used in pharmaceutics, cosmetics and food industries, have a strong advantage as a cell scaffold material in that they harbor specific amino acid sequences (such as Arg–Gly–Asp) on which cell attachment occurs through the binding of transmembrane receptors (such as integrin
