PODS™ Growth Factors
PODS™ Growth Factors
Introducing a revolution in growth factor quality, stability and bioavailability - PODS™ Growth Factors. From Activin to Wnt3a - more than 20 different growth factors are now available in this novel format. PODS Growth Factors are slow-release microcrystals made by the co-expression of growth factor with an inert polyhedrin scaffold protein. Each PODS microcrystal contains millions of copies of the cargo protein which are released over time by endogenous proteases secreted by cells or present in sera. |
