The Power of Peptides: Peptide-based Hydrogels for the Culture of Primary Neurons
The culturing of primary neurons represents a vital part of neuroscience research. Primary neurons are derived directly from brain tissue […]
Making in-vitro more in-vivo
For forward-thinking researchers looking to make their work clinically relevant through developing more accurate in-vitro models. We help you to take your research further. Our peptide hydrogels enable you to consistently replicate an in-vivo environment for cells by providing more than just a 3D structure:
- Ability to tune the mechanical properties of the microenvironment to achieve highly accurate, more realistic cell behaviour for cancer and stem cell research.
- Control over the stiffness and strength of the hydrogel to mimic specific tissues, such as liver, skin, bone and cartilage.
- Simplicity by non-animal derived peptide composition that provides biocompatibilty, consistency and eliminate the limitation of batch variation.
Products
We offer a range of hydrogel platforms for you that are three dimensional (3D), >95% water and have the same nanoscale matrix structure as human tissue. The gels can be controlled to meet the needs of any given cell type.
biomimetic, cost effective, synthetic 3D matrix
Our hydrogels can aid stem cell migration, differentiation, survival and integration. The stiffness of the gel matrix dictates cell fate, with soft gels favouring differentiation towards soft tissue cells (e.g. neuronal, adipose) and rigid gels favouring differentiation towards stiff tissue lineages(e.g. bone, cartilage).
reproducible, controlled nanoscaffold system
Our products are biocompatible and provides a relevant surface for cell attachment that mimics the extracellular matrix environment with the advantage of offering a reproducible, highly controlled synthetic nanoscaffold system.
universal Bio-ink
We offer you a hydrogel bio-ink, which is available to be used across all 3D printing platforms, including extrusion, inkjet and laser assisted. With Biogelx bio-ink you have the ability to accurately bio-fabricate biologically relevant 3D structures which are essential to achieve life-like function.
designed for Future Medicine
Biogelx’s range of entirely synthetic biocompatible hydrogels are free from animal derived components and are therefore ideally suited to serve as a biomaterial for cell therapy and tissue-engineering applications. Our peptide hydrogels are injectable and can be formulated as injectable cell scaffolds or drug delivery depots.
