Abstract
Falling into line: A method for the precise generation of durable 3D chemical patterns within stationary media was used to direct the chemotactic self-organization of living cells. A container with carefully positioned slits, through which a chemoattractant (yellow) can diffuse, controls the self-organization of Escherichia coli cells (green ellipsoids) expressing green fluorescent protein into a helical pattern (see fluorescence images).
