R&D Systems™ Cultrex RGF Basement Membrane Extract, Type R1

Description

• Avoid freeze-thaw cycles Basement membranes are continuous sheets of specialized extracellular matrix that form an interface between endothelial, epithelial, muscle, or neuronal cells and their adjacent stroma
• Basement membranes are degraded and regenerated during development and wound healing
• They not only support cells and cell layers, but they also play an essential role in tissue organization that affects cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation
• Basement membranes provide major barriers to invasion by metastatic tumor cells
• Has a higher concentration of entactin, one of the BME components that connects laminins and collagens reinforcing the hydrogel structure
• Specifically designed to culture tissue organoids.
