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