Abstract
⺠Residual-type stress fields can exist in free-floating collagen gels. ⺠Regional anisotropy can develop naturally in free-floating collagen gels. ⺠Cell tractions must be proportional to matrix stiffness in free-floating collagen gels. ⺠Cell phenotype can be dictated, in part, by equilibrium and boundary conditions.
