Human-based products for Cell Culture and Tissue Engineering
Advancing 3D Cell Culture
Human-like Microenvironments
Our biomaterials provide realistic microenvironments for cell culture allowing for greater cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interaction resemblance, thereby increasing the accuracy of in vitro studies.
The extracellular matrix of living tissues is composed by a great diversity of structural proteins and bioactive factors. For this reason, mimicking its function in vitro continues to be a big challenge. Our strategy is to use ethically sourced human proteins to produce the next-generation of xeno-free biomimetic 3D cell culture platforms.

The innovation potential of Metatissue
Improve the correlation between laboratorial research and clinical trials, while reducing animal testing and increasing the speed of scientific discoveries.
Human-derived
Multiple native human-derived proteins and growth factors provide a xeno-free alternative to animal-derived products.
Mechanically Tuneable
Mechanical properties can be easily adjusted, promoting several tissue stiffness simulations.
Photocrosslinkable
The precursor solution can be cured upon light exposure to induce hydrogel crosslinking. Its temperature stability allows for easier handling.
Versatile
Easily processed in multiple geometries and in microarrays amenable to ‘organ-on-a-chip’ systems designed for high-throughput screening applications.
Reproducible
The materials are prepared from multiple donor units that are pooled to minimize lot-to-lot variability.
Personalized
Under request, specific products may be prepared with samples from a specific donor, enriched or depleted in specific target molecules.
