Hydrogel scaffolds to support in vitro cell culture
This article was originally published in Start Up
Executive Summary
Cultured cells are important for learning about the basic biology of health and disease, for in vitro testing of new drugs, and potentially for the growing field of regenerative medicine, but flat sheets of cells grown in Petri dishes do not reflect the complexity of tissues in the human body. Biogelx Ltd. aims to meet this need by creating hydrogel scaffolds that mimic the cell growth environment in tissues and organs, and are specifically tailored to match each cell type.
