Allovi is a tissue-based product research lab. We study how the structure of a tissue shapes what it can do.
Human stem cell matrix
Human stem cells can develop into specialized cells and release signals that support tissue repair. Researchers are studying how to use these abilities to restore function in damaged tissue.
What holds tissue together?
Look between the cells and you’ll find a network of proteins. One of them, collagen, forms the banded strands that give cells a scaffold to move along as they rebuild damaged tissue. Bundled together, these strands help connective tissue resist tension and build elasticity.
