6、al(3D)microenvironments for a variety of cell culture experiments.To achieve optimal cell growth and differentiation,it is necessary to determine the appropriate mixture of this material and bioactive molecules(e.g.,growth factors,extracellular matrix(ECM)proteins,and/or other molecules).BD PuraMatr
7、ix consists of standard amino acids(1%w/v)and 99%water.Under physiological conditions,the peptide component of BD PuraMatrix self-assembles into a 3D hydrogel that exhibits a nanometer scale fibrous structure with an average pore size of 50-200 nm.The hydrogel is readily formed in a culture dish,mul

9、ms compared with cell encapsulation or sandwich culture systems.Research has shown that cells forming 3D structures often resemble their in vivocounterparts more closely when compared to cells grown in 2D.BD PuraMatrix allows defined microenvironments to better recapitulate the in vivo milieu,which
10、should improve the predictive quality of results obtained from assays conducted in a high-throughput context.The hydrogel has been shown to support the differentiation of hepatocyte progenitor cells1,rat pheochromocytoma cells(PC12)2 and hippocampal neurons3,as well as enabling endothelial cell tubu
11、logenesis4.Studies have also demonstrated that BD PuraMatrix supports the attachment of a variety of primary(e.g.,neuronal,fibroblast,and keratinocyte)and transformed(e.g.,MG-63,SH-SY5Y,HEK293,and NIH3T3)cell types5,6.Other potential applications include stem cell proliferation and differentiation,t
12、umor cell migration,and in vivo analyses of tissue regeneration.BD PuraMatrix is biocompatible,resorbable,and devoid of animal-derived material and pathogens.For in vivo studies in animals,the soluble material can be injected and will subsequently form a 3D hydrogel upon contact with the physiologic
