3D Life biomimetic hydrogels for tunable stiffness, ligand density, and degradability
When you want full control over hydrogel mechanics, biofunctionalisation, and degradability, Cellendes 3D Life lets you mix components at the point of use to set polymer composition, RGD ligand density, stiffness, and protease-degradability independently. The platform is positioned for reproducibility-critical work where natural matrices introduce lot variance.
Work through the customisation.
- Stiffness. kPa range tunable; pick to match native tissue.
- Ligand functionalisation. RGD for adhesion. Custom peptide functionalisation possible. Control over density gives mechanistic interpretation of adhesion versus stiffness effects.
- Degradability. MMP-cleavable crosslinkers allow cell-driven remodelling. Non-degradable for static contexts.
- Imaging compatibility. Optical-clearing protocols vary by composition. Test before committing to thick-tissue imaging.
- Organoid context. For organoid work pair with cell-type-specific media; defined hydrogels alone do not provide the diffusible-factor cues that traditional Matrigel does.
