Guar gum
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Guar gum is an orally active nonionic galactomannan polysaccharide. It is present in the endosperm of Cyamopsis tetragonolobus seeds. Guar gum reduces cholesterol levels, regulates body weight, and acts as a thickener and viscosity modifier by forming hydrogen-bonded aqueous solutions. It serves as a rate-controlling excipient in compound delivery systems, and finds applications in the food, tissue engineering, nanosensing and industrial fields.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vivo
Guar gum (50-100 g/kg diet; administered orally via diet; daily; for 21 days) reduces body weight gain and food conversion rate in male Wistar rats in a dose-dependent manner in vivo, indicating its regulatory effects on nutrient utilization and growth[2].

3D Hydrogel Synthetic Scaffold Culture
3D hydrogel synthetic scaffold culture embeds cells, spheroids, organoids, or tissue fragments inside a hydrated crosslinked polymer network so that cells receive matrix and cell-cell cues in three dimensions rather than from a flat plastic surface. A literature-supported model protocol is PEG-4MAL hydrogel culture, in which four-arm maleimide-terminated PEG is functionalized with cysteine-containing adhesive peptides such as RGD and crosslinked with protease-degradable peptides such as GPQ-W; this creates a defined, modular scaffold that supports human organoid generation and culture. The readouts are scaffold-supported growth, morphology, lumen formation, budding, viability, proliferation, lineage-marker expression, and matrix-dependent expansion or differentiation; reported assays include transmitted-light imaging, immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization, qRT-PCR, and rheological characterization.
