Application

INVIVO-GEL TGF-β bioink is specifically developed and optimized for 3D bioprinting applications. The INVIVO-GEL TGF-β bioink kit includes optimally formulated TGF-mimetic peptide conjugated gelatin-based hydrogel complex packed in syringe for easy dispensing. The kit also includes Gel-linker, which reinforces mechanical stability. A transparent hydrogel forms when contents are properly mixed and exposed to UV light. This bioink is capable of generating mechanically stable 3D structures that can be maintained for days in the culture environment. TGF may promote ECM production, as reported by numerous studies demonstrating the dramatic increase in matrix synthesis and deposition by vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells when grown on hydrogels with tethered TGF-β.

Components

INVIVO-GEL TGF-β in syringe 5mL x 2
Gel-linker(A) powder 500µL x 1
Gel-linker(B) powder 1µL x 1
