Extracellular Matrices (ECM)

 

Culturing cells on flat plasticware results in artificial two-dimensional sheets of cells.  Normal cells in the human body experience a three-dimensional environment, completely surrounded by other cells, membranes, fibrous layers, and adhesion proteins. 

Our Gibco® products including extracellular matrices, scaffolds and proteins provide in vivo like morphology and physiologically relevant environments for more realistic cell biology and better intercellular interactions.

Collagen I

Collagen is the most widely used extracellular matrix protein for cell culture, facilitating cell attachment, growth, differentiation, migration, and tissue morphogenesis.

Laminin

Laminin is the major glycoprotein
component of basement membranes.
Mouse Laminin facilitates the attachment
and expansion of ESCs, iPSCs and
NSCs.
