How to put array into a cell

Hi.

I have three column vectors (a, b and c) which are n items in length.
I need to get each item of these vectors into [3x3] matrices which I have nested inside a cell M. M has n numbers of [3x3] matrices.

This is what I'm trying to do:

M = cell([10,1]);
M(:,1) = {[a b c]};

This is not working since I end up with n times [10,3] matrices. I want to get n times [1x3] matrices. Can anyone please advice how to do this without using a loop?

Thanks in advance.

I can't parse the request, sorry.

How about a (small) example input/desired output?

Here is an example. If I define;
 a = [1 2 3 4 5]';
b = [6 7 8 9 10]';
c = [11 12 13 14 15]';
M = cell(5,1);

and then I write;
M(:,1) = {[a;b;c]}

I want the first value of each column vector to be put into the column of the first matrix in the M cell etc. like this:
{[1 6 11];[2 7 12] etc.}

What I get is the column vectors a,b and c put into a column vector 5 times.
M = [15x1 double]
      [15x1 double]
      [15x1 double]
      [15x1 double]
      [15x1 double]

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Your explaination is still unclear to me, but try this:

a = [1 2 3 4 5]';
b = [6 7 8 9 10]';
c = [11 12 13 14 15]';

M = num2cell([a b c],2)
M{1,:}
M{2,:}

This is what I was trying to get.

Thank you.
