Optimising Gelation Capabilities of Biocompatible Peptide Gels for Cell Culture/Delivery Applications

Biogelx是一家提供肽基凝胶的公司，该凝胶可以模拟一系列组织的功能。我们目前的产品专门针对希望在实验室中培养细胞的细胞生物学家。该公司已经确定了现在需要创造适合细胞培养和输送到体内的肽凝胶。该项目将研究凝胶形成的基本机制，确定新的肽起始材料，既能够形成凝胶，又适合细胞培养/输送到体内。如果该产品成功生产，将提供一个平台，既可用于将细胞生长提高到客户要求的任何水平，又可在交付到身体需要的区域期间将其保持在必要的范围内。该产品在伤口愈合、中风恢复和细胞治疗方面具有潜在的应用。

Biogelx is a company that offers peptide-based gels that mimic the function of a range of tissues. Our current products are specifically aimed at cell biologists who wish to grow cells in the laboratory. The company has identified the need to now create peptide gels that are suitable for cell culture and delivery into the body. This project will investigate the fundamental mechanics of gel formation, identifying new peptide starting materials that both are capable of forming gels and are suitable for cell culture/delivery into the body. If this product is sucessfully produced, a platform will be offered that can both be used to improve cell growth to whatever level the customer requires and maintain it in the necessary environmet during delivery to the area of need in the body. This product has potential applications in wound healing, stroke recovery and cell therapy.
