Collagen Type 0 is a chemically ancient, medical-grade fibrillar Collagen for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
As it is a non-hazardous marine-derived biomaterial, it offers a safer route to regulators by being free from the risk of disease and prions.
Studies show that Collagen Type 0 is non-immunogenic and pro-angiogenic, pro-tissue neogenic.
The essential characteristics of this fibrillar collagen are identifiable using techniques such as infrared spectroscopy, circular dichroism, amino acid analysis, and electron microscopy that highlight its triple helical structure, fibril forming capabilities and stability.
It can be formulated into various formats including liquid, powder, films, sponges, hydrogels & bioinks for a variety of biomedical applications.
Collagen is derived from the jellyfish species Rhizostoma pulmo. This unique protein predates its mammalian counterparts and, as such, has been designated as 'Collagen Type 0'.
Mammalian collagens are highly specialised and biologically complex, Collagen Type 0 however, is chemically simple, allowing greater functionality and structural versatility in various applications.
