Plant-based frameworks with life-changing applications

Spiderwort aims to revolutionize tissue engineering and regenerative medicine with its cellulose-based biomaterials that show promise in supporting the growth of host cells and the regeneration of damaged, diseased, or aging tissues.

Scaffold

Overview

Spiderwort’s proprietary biomaterial platform involves isolating and manufacturing a repertoire of unique, plant-derived microstructures to match the extracellular matrix structure of the target tissues. Our Aerocell and Hydrocell™ technology platforms allow for precise control over stiffness, shape, textures, and architecture.

Process

Harvesting

Harvesting

Plant tissue (cellulose) is removed from the plant.

Processing

Processing, Decellularization

Plant cells are processed to remove DNA, proteins, lipids, salts, and other cellular components.

Implentation

Treatment

An empty cellulose scaffold remains that can be implanted in the patient to support the growth of healthy cells and tissues.

A solution borrowed from nature

Our technologies intend to provide the human body with tailored, long-lasting scaffold architectures to support the rebuilding of healthy and functional tissues by repurposing materials found in nature.

Our developing medical device solutions are ethically sourced, green, and sustainable.
