The UK Government’s newly published strategy on replacing animals in science marks one of the most decisive policy shifts in recent years across the life sciences sector. For the first time, the Government has set out a coordinated, cross-departmental plan to accelerate the development, validation and regulatory uptake of non-animal methods, with clear timelines and a national infrastructure to support delivery.

Introduction Every year, millions of animals contribute - often invisibly - to biomedical research, with 2.64 million scientific procedures carried out in Great Britain alone in 2024 [1]. However, even when no direct animal testing is involved, products like extracellular matrix (ECM) extracts are typically harvested from animal tissue to be used for a wide variety of in vitro research methods. For decades, scientists have depended on Matrigel® as the go-to hydrogel for 3D ce

Mac4Me project kicks off with a meeting in Rotterdam and the first doctoral training session.

As we close out the first quarter of 2025, I’m incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made and the momentum we’ve built. From securing new investment to welcoming fresh talent to the team, every milestone this quarter has brought us one step closer to our mission of transforming how peptide-based materials are developed and delivered. We also released our second video-based SOP, designed to help researchers and partners get up to speed quickly with using our hydrogels. It’s a
