Abstract
A method for forming a three-dimensional cell arrangement () of biological cells is disclosed, including the steps of preparation of the cell arrangement () on a flexible substrate () and deformation of the substrate (), wherein the deformation of the substrate () is brought about by an attractive force exerted by the cells () on the substrate (). A substrate (), is also disclosed, made from a flexible material and including a substrate surface () for adhesion of a cell arrangement () of biological cells, wherein the substrate surface () has a number of force attachment points arranged to exert an attraction force which may be transmitted from the cells to the substrate () and the substrate () has a flexibility such that the substrate () is deformable with the action of the attraction force.
