We used the multiphoton microfabrication and micropatterning (MMM) technology to engineer a spatially and quantitatively controllable bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) soluble niche. The micropatterned NA bound-bBMP-2 niche elicited a more sustained and a higher level of the downstream Smad signaling than that by free BMP-2, in C2C12 cells.
