OkaGel is a gelatin methacrylate (GelMA). It is a gelatin-based hydrogel substituted with methacryloyl groups which crosslink in the presence of various wavelengths of light when a photoinitiator is added. GelMA is a versatile biomaterial with a track record of bioprinting success, and has been used in numerous ground-breaking biomedical engineering and tissue regeneration research projects.
Features
Biocompatible
It has a much lower antigenicity compared to similar collagen-based bioinks because of its arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide sequence. This tripeptide sequence promotes cellular growth increasing cellular viability when cells are incorporated.
Biodegradable
GelMA contains matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) degradable motifs which are enzyme binding locations that trigger the catabolism of the gelatin architecture in GelMA. The degradation of GelMA is then replaced by the natural ECM without triggering a severe inflammatory response.
Naturally Derived
GelMA contains a gelatin protein base derived from naturally occurring sources.
