Cell Membrane Modifier

Biocompatible Anchor for cell Membrane (BAM) is consisting of oleyl groups as a hydrophobic cell membrane anchor and activated polyethylene glycol (PEG) for increasing water solubility and reacting with either physiologically active substances (PAS) or material surfaces at the PEG terminal.

Using BAM, membranes of cells or tissues can be modified with PAS such as proteins, enzymes or drugs without causing damage. Utilizing our new technologies, cells or tissues can be also immobilized alive on surfaces of various kinds of materials.

Possessing excellent functions beyond conventional concepts, our new technologies should provide wide application in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
