Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture is an attractive alternative to animal model research, and it is a predictive method for drug discovery and compound screening. By incorporating extracellular ...

When cells are encapsulated within a homogeneous gel matrix and given the right soluble cues, such as growth-factor proteins added to the culture medium, they can start to multiply and migrate ...

Hydrogels are already widely used as three-dimensional cell and tissue culture environments, as they are excellent mimics of the in vivo state. The major challenge in the synthesis of these ...

AMSBIO has launched MatriMix for PDX, a fully defined extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel comprising of collagen ... MatriMix for PDX is a ready-to-use 3D culture substrate product optimized for ...

In a paper published in APL Materials, researchers created a hydrogel that is easier to synthesize, contains natural ...

Based in fundamental materials science, the group synthesizes cytocompatible and cell-instructive biomaterials, often from biopolymers (e.g., hyaluronic acid) that are crosslinked into water-swollen ...

This study presents a kombucha-derived bioink and digital biopen, advancing in vivo tissue engineering with efficient, ...
