Polarized optical microscope image of C2C12 cells cultured on a liquid crystal (LC)‐based scaffold. The same image is recorded without and with a red, yellow, or green filter. In article 1801489 , Camilla Parmeggiani and co‐workers, LC‐based scaffolds are able to reflect the molecular organization inside the polymer in a unidirectional alignment of the global cell culture.
