Collection: Bioinks Celluid

GelMA (gelatin methacryloyl) is a hydrophilic material composed of a natural polymer, gelatin, and acrylate. It has high water content and similar characteristics to the extracellular matrix (ECM), making it suitable for various applications such as drug delivery, biomaterials, and artificial organ chips due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. GelMA also contains an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) protein structure that promotes cell attachment. Its high solubility and low antigenicity make it a widely used material for bioinks.

Clecell produces GelMA, which can be adjusted to low concentration for cell mobility or high concentration for structural formation. By including a photoinitiator, Clecell has created a bioink that can form three-dimensional structures under UV exposure. Celluid GM, Clecell’s product, is a freeze-dried sponge product that can be adjusted to the user's desired concentration and includes a separate photoinitiator package. Currently, Clecell is researching various micro artificial tissues, including bone, cartilage, skin, and blood vessels, using Celluid GM.
