In order to investigate possible cell positional effects on the gene expression of human dermal fibroblasts, the authors cultured the cells on non-coated polystyrene culture dishes, type I collagen-coated dishes, or collagen gels formed by type I collagen, or suspended them in type I collagen gels a
