🧠 Salmon fibrin shows superior performance in neural stem cell and vascular tissue engineering
A study by Arulmoli et al. (2017) demonstrated that salmon fibrin stimulates greater proliferation of human neuronal stem and progenitor cells (hNSPCs) than traditional human fibrin.
Their innovative scaffolds, combining salmon fibrin, hyaluronic acid, and laminin, produced hydrogels that closely matched the mechanical characteristics of brain tissue. These scaffolds supported both the proliferation and differentiation of hNSPCs while also promoting slower cell-mediated degradation than fibrin alone.
Even more remarkably, the combination scaffolds containing salmon fibrin facilitated vascularization, leading to enhanced vessel formation and increased complexity in co-cultures of human endothelial cells and neural progenitor cells.
At Salmonics, we are building on this foundation of research by refining and supplying salmon-derived fibrin, fibrinogen, and thrombin for applications in cell culture, wound healing, and regenerative medicine. Our commitment to sustainability, biosafety, and performance ensures that researchers can explore the next generation of biocompatible scaffolds and cellular models without relying on mammalian sources.
