Biogelx: Designer Gels for Cell Culture

摘要

Biogelx is an early stage biomaterials company which designs and supplies peptide hydrogels for cell culture, precisely tuned to the requirements of the cell. These innovative cell-matched gels enable replication of the natural environment of cells, in the artificial environment of the laboratory. These products have applications in cancer modelling research, toxicology assays, 3D bio-printing, and may ultimately be translated to clinical and regenerative medicine. The chemistry and physical properties of the hydrogels match the characteristics experienced by cells within human tissues, thus enabling the study and manipulation of cells in a realistic 3D environment which is simple, fully defined and tunable.
