Plant-based molecular farming platform for bio-identical collagen production
LeafyColl is a biotech developing a molecular farming platform for the scalable, plant-based production of bio-identical human collagen and other specialty proteins.
The system uses engineered plants as programmable bio-factories to produce high-purity collagen for applications spanning regenerative medicine, wound care, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic formulations.
The plant-derived production route eliminates animal and microbial feedstocks, delivering a vegan, GMO-free ingredient with structural equivalence to human collagen.
