Descripción

General description

Gelatin is a natural biopolymer derived from collagen that plays an important role in the biomedical field due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nonimmunogenicity. Acrylate-functionalized gelatin, or gelatin acrylate, can be crosslinked using thiol-Michael click chemistry as well as photochemical crosslinking. It′s properties are very similar to gelatin methacrylate (GelMA). Crosslinked gelatin hydrogels have many applications in tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting.

Application

• Endothelial cell morphogenesis
• Injectable tissue constructs
• Tissue engineering of multiple tissue types including heart tissue (cardiomyocytes), bone tissue (osteogenesis), cartilage tissue (chondrogenesis), and epidermal tissue
• Drug delivery applications including contact lens and dental

Features and Benefits

• Photopolymerizable
