Matrigel

Matrigel is a gelatinous substance derived from mouse tumors that is commonly used in scientific research. It mimics the natural environment found in tissues, providing a supportive matrix for cells to grow and behave similarly to how they would in the body. Researchers use Matrigel to study cell behavior, test drugs, and understand diseases, particularly cancer. Its ability to promote cell attachment and growth makes it valuable for developing new therapies and conducting various biological experiments.
