Control of structure of multi-channel collagen gel beads

Abstract

To control the structure of collagen gel with multichannel structure (Multi-Channel Collagen Gel: MCCG), the effect of gelation temperature on the multichannel structure of MCCG have been investigated. The diameter of channel decreased with increasing gelation temperature. By contrast, the number of channel increased with increasing the gelation temperature. The results showed that the multi-channel structure of MCCG can be controlled by regulating the gelation temperature.
