Cells of different types can be patterned into periodic cell structures with controlled lengths and configurations at single‐cell patterning control via direct cell–cell contact, using an optical assembly method. Light can propagate along the patterned cell structures, and the propagating signal can be detected in real‐time. The patterning method demonstrated by B. Li and co‐workers on page 2816 is also applicable for mammalian/human cells.
