The NAM revolution is almost here but it is missing a critical piece. The ECM hasn't caught up yet. NAMSs like organoids, spheroids, organ-on-a-chip, and microphysiological systems hold enormous promise for replacing animal testing and generating more human-relevant data. Yet a foundational component of these models is often overlooked: the extracellular matrix (ECM). Most in vitro NAM models rely on animal-derived ECM, rat-tail collagen and Matrigel, or on synthetic alternatives. Both fall...

We knew human collagen was good. We just didn’t know how good until we saw these results. In our latest experiments, human fibroblast cells showed +62% growth when cultured with our bio-manufactured, true human collagen. By comparison, traditional bovine (animal-derived) collagen delivered only a +10% improvement over the reference.  What does that mean in practical terms? We can’t regrow an organ yet — but with our human collagen, we’re clearly moving toward a future where regenerating...

Big milestone moment for Arrakis Bio  🚀 Proud to announce the successful delivery of our first batch of our True Human Collagen™ samples to a leading global partner in the biomedical field. This achievement is not only a demonstration of our technology, but also the beginning of a new era for regenerative biomaterials. By producing fully human, bio-manufactured collagen through advanced cellular engineering, we are laying the foundation for safer, scalable, and next-generation medical...
