GelMA Bio ink

in bioprinting •  3 years ago 

GelMA (gelatin methacrylate) is a hydrolysis product of a collagen derivative that contains methacrylate groups. GelMA contains arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) sequences that promote cell attachment that is also suitable for cell remodeling.

GelMA enables hydrogel microfabrication to create unique 3D patterns, morphologies, and structures, providing ideal platforms for monitoring cellular behaviors, studying cell-biomaterial interactions, and designing tissues.

GelMA Bio ink, as a solution that mixes GelMA powder and a photoinitiator to increase user comfort of 3D bioprinting, is provided in syringe form. Since it is in gel form in a refrigerated state, it can be used after being melted into a liquid at 37 ° C before use.

The excellent biocompatibility of GelMA hydrogels makes them suitable as tissue scaffolds that mimic the native ECM. Its compression modulus is adjusted by varying the degree of methacrylation, making it suitable for a wide range of biomedical applications.

Furthermore, GelMA could be a good candidate for bio ink applications. GelMA 3D printed scaffolds have excellent cell viability and scaffold stability. The combination of nanotechnology and GelMA hydrogels will bring promising benefits in tissue engineering.
