How to combine rows of cell array into corresponding single cell

Hi!

I want to combine rows of a cell array into a single cell. Such that a cell array of dimension 5*4 comes as a cell array of 5*1 where each cell is a cell array of 1*4. I want to remove the for loop, since my cell matrices are huge.

For example:

a={123;'xyz';'abc';'asd';123};

b={'xyz';123;243;'zxy';123};

I can use the following for loop to get the result. But is it possible without a for loop?

for i=1:1:size(a,1)

c{i,1}={a(i) b(i)};

end

result c={{123, 'xyz'};{'xyz', 123};{'abc', 243};{'asd', 'zxy'};{123, 123}};

Thank you!
