K. Kandere‐Grzybowska, B. A. Grzybowski and co‐workers demonstrate in article 1400158 micropatterned cell‐adhesive islands – here of triangular shapes – that enable to control the shape and cytoskeleton organization of cells that otherwise have heterogeneous undefined shapes. The insets show actin cytoskeleton in triangular cells imaged in consecutive Z‐sections by using confocal microscopy on the background of unconstrained cells obtained by differential interference contrast mode.
