In article number 1900357 , Yuri Lvov, Mingxian Liu, and co‐workers report a simple method for preparing oriented clay nanotube architectures. The clay nanotubes are aligned by brush induced shear force into strip‐like patterns on different substrates at elevated temperature. This clay pattern can induce stem cell orientation growth and is promising for surface modification in tissue engineering materials.
