The Extra Cellular Matrix consists of structural and functional macromolecules, where Collagen is the most abundant. ColMA is a natural extracellular matrix-mimicking material that can be produced via a chemical reaction between Collagen and methacrylic anhydride (MAh).
Zetamatrix ColMA is a purified methacrylated Type I-III bovine collagen. ColMA provides native-like 3D collagen gels with the unique attributes to be prepared at various concentrations and crosslinked to provide various gel stiffness.
