Medical-bio Products "Mebiol® Gel"
		The thermoreversible gelation polymer, “Mebiol Gel” has been developed as our proprietary hydrogel. Mebiol Gel has been commercialized as a cell/tissue culture reagent for ES cells, chondrocytes and cancer cells, etc. Mebiol Gel based intralumenal implants are being developed for occlusion of cancerous vascular system and brain aneurism.
		In contrast to conventional hydrogels, Mebiol Gel is liquid at low temperature but turns to gel immediately upon heating and returns to a liquid state again when cooled. The sol-gel transformation temperature can be varied. Unlike conventional hydrogels, Mebiol Gel is highly lipophilic and has a network structure at the molecular level, which enables the sustained release of a variety of drugs from low-molecular weight drugs (lipophilic, in most cases) to genomic-based drugs. Unlike conventional hydrogels derived from living tissue, Mebiol Gel is completely synthetic and can resist contamination by pathogenic agents such as abnormal prion and unknown viruses. Taking full advantage of Mebiol Gel’s unique features, Mebiol has been developing reagents for cell/tissue culture research.
