Bone regeneration therapy based on the delivery of osteogenic factors and/or cells has received a lot of attention in recent years since the discovery of pluripotent stem cells. We reported previously that the implantation of capillary networks engineered ex vivo by the use of cell‐printing technology could improve blood perfusion. Here, we developed a new substrate prepared by coating glass with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to create a non‐adhesive surface and subsequent photo‐lithography to finely tune the adhesive property for efficient cell transfer. We examined the cell‐transfer efficiency onto amniotic membrane and bone regenerative efficiency in murine calvarial bone defect. Cell transfer of KUSA‐A1 cells (murine osteoblasts) to amniotic membrane was performed for 1 h using the substrates. Cell transfer using the substrate facilitated cell engraftment onto the amniotic membrane compared to that by direct cell inoculation. KUSA‐A1 cells transferred onto the amniotic membrane were applied to critical‐sized calvarial bone defects in mice. Micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) analysis showed rapid and effective bone formation by the cell‐equipped amniotic membrane. These results indicate that the cell‐printing and transfer technology used to create the cell‐equipped amniotic membrane was beneficial for the cell delivery system. Our findings support the development of a biologically stable and effective bone regeneration therapy. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
