PhotoHA®-Soft Methacrylated Hyaluronic Acid (GM-HA)

Description

PhotoHA^® is 100 mg of lyophilized methacrylated hyaluronic acid (GM-HA). PhotoHA^® provides 3D hyaluronic acid hydrogels with the unique attributes to be prepared at various concentrations and photocrosslinked to provide various gel stiffness. GM-HA forms softer hydrogels than HAMA.

Advanced BioMatrix offers PhotoHA^®-Soft, a methacrylated hyaluronic acid (GMHA) for photocrosslinkable hydrogels. PhotoHA-Soft forms softer hydrogels than PhotoHA-Stiff. These hydrogels provide native-like 3D HA gels with the unique attributes to be prepared at various concentrations and photocrosslinked to provide various gel stiffness.

Hyaluronic acid is the most abundant glycosaminoglycan in the body being an important component of several tissues throughout the body. While it is abundant in extracellular matrices, hyaluronic acid also contributes to tissue hydrodynamics, movement and proliferation of cells, and participates in a number of cell surface receptor interactions.

For the majority of cell types, it is recommended to add additional ECM proteins to the hyaluronic acid hydrogels. The proteins provide important cell binding sites.

Once solubilized, the PhotoHA^® can be stored at 2-10°C for 1 month.
