Collagen for 3D or coating surfaces
Type I Collagen is a major structural component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Therefore, this fibrous protein is often used in three-dimensional (3D) collagen gels that simulate the in vivo cell environment better than the traditional 2D systems. Additionally, Collagen I is ideal for coating surfaces, as it can form thin layers for culturing cells.
