About
The production of conventional growth factors and cytokines for regenerative medicine, cell therapy products, and cultivated meat is faced with challenges such as lot-to-lot quality variation, contamination, low stability, and high manufacturing costs. PeptiGrowth Inc. has developed synthetic peptides that offer a solution to these challenges while still retaining the same capabilities of receptor activation, cell proliferation, and differentiation as conventional growth factors.

In this webinar, Dr. Kosuke Minamihata and Dr. Jes Kuruvilla share application examples of synthetic peptide growth factors in cell culture models and the key benefits of using their products.

Key learning objectives will include:
  • How synthetic peptide growth factors work

  • Functional properties and application data of synthetic peptide growth factors

  • Benefits of using synthetic peptide growth factors in cell culture
