Interpretation of cell–cell and cell-microenvironment interactions is critical for both advancing knowledge of basic biology and promoting applications of regenerative medicine. Cell patterning has been widely investigated in previous studies. However, the reported methods cannot simultaneously realize precise control of cell alignment and adhesion/spreading with a high efficiency at a high throughput. Here, a novel solid lift-off method with a micropore array as a shadow mask was proposed. Efficient and precise control of cell alignment and adhesion/spreading are simultaneously achieved via an ingeniously designed shadow mask, which contains large micropores (capture pores) in central areas and small micropores (spreading pores) in surrounding areas contributing to capture/alignment and adhesion/spreading control, respectively. The solid lift-off functions as follows: (1) protein micropattern generates through both the capture and spreading pores, (2) cell capture/alignment control is realized through the capture pores, and (3) cell adhesion/spreading is controlled through previously generated protein micropatterns after lift-off of the shadow mask. High-throughput (2.4–3.2 × 104 cells/cm2) cell alignments were achieved with high efficiencies (86.2 ± 3.2%, 56.7 ± 9.4% and 51.1 ± 4.0% for single-cell, double-cell, and triple-cell alignments, respectively). Precise control of cell spreading and applications for regulating cell skeletons and cell–cell junctions were investigated and verified using murine skeletal muscle myoblasts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate highly efficient and controllable multicell alignment and adhesion/spreading simultaneously via a simple solid lift-off operation. This study successfully fills a gap in literatures and promotes the effective and reproducible application of cell patterning in the fields of both basic mechanism studies and applied medicine. A solid lift-off method with an ingeniously designed micropore array as a shadow mask enables the efficient and precise control of cell patterning. Cell patterning is an important strategy for both basic biological mechanism studies and applicable technology developments in regenerative medicine, such as tissue engineering. Here, a team led by Prof. Wei Wang from Peking University presents the first report of a simultaneous control of cell alignment and adhesion/spreading via an easy single-step lift-off operation. The key concept is that the micropore array contains the large pores in central areas and small pores in surrounding areas controlling cell capture and alignment, and cell adhesion and spreading, respectively. They demonstrated high-throughput, high-efficiency cell alignment along with a precise control of cell spreading.
