TissueFab® - low endotoxin GelMA-UV bioink for 3D bioprinting applications

Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) is a polymerizable hydrogel material generated from natural extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Gelatin has become a highly sought-after material for tissue engineering applications due to its low cost, availability, and preservation of natural cell binding motifs.

With the addition of photocrosslinkable methacrylamide functional groups to GelMA, it is possible to create biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-immunogenic hydrogels that are stable under biologically relevant circumstances and stimulate cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation.

Adjusting the degree of functionalization and polymerization conditions allows for temporal and geographic control of the crosslinking reaction, creating hydrogels with unique patterns, 3D structures, and morphologies.
