Enzyme‐assisted 3D lithography: A peptide substrate for transglutaminase factor XIII (FXIIIa) can be caged with a photo‐deprotectable group and immobilized to the hydrogel framework. The substrate can be decaged by using multiphoton light to anchor cell‐signaling motifs in a spatial specific manner.
