Before revision:  As in experiments, we are able to observe preferential alignment along perpendicular, parallel, or oblique angles to the stretching, depending on the frequency of stretching, as well as on the type of response exhibited by our model cells .
After revision:  As in experiments, we are able to observe preferential alignment along perpendicular, parallel, or oblique angles to the stretching, depending on the frequency , as has been observed experimentally. Furthermore, we show that an asymmetry during the loading and unloading phases of the stretching, whether coming from the response of the cell itself, or from the stretching protocol, can be used to selectively align the cells in either the parallel or perpendicular directions .
