Abstract

A simple method to create guided cellular orientation is illustrated by assembling fibroblasts on the dorsal side of M. menelaus wings. Moreover, by inserting the wing into tendon fibroblasts suspension at a tilt angle, guided cellular orientation concurrently with the cell density gradient is formed on the butterfly wings.
