Matrix Fiber Alignment

Matrix Fiber Alignment is a structural characteristic of the extracellular matrix defined by the organized orientation of fibrous components, such as collagen and elastin, which distinguishes it from random or isotropic matrix architectures by enabling anisotropic mechanical properties and guiding cell behavior through topographical cues.
