Extracellular matrix can regulate multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSC) differentiation, with potential applications for tissue engineering. A relief of mineralized bone takes essential effect on MMSC fate. Nevertheless, delicate structure and a hierarchy of niches for stromal stem cells and its quantitative parameters are not practically known. Here, we describe the protocol to define the basic approach providing a guiding for in vitro identification of quantitative features of artificial calcium phosphate niches which promotes osteogenic differentiation and maturation of stromal stem cell.
