24 August 2021 — Inventia Life Science, together with BioLamina AB, a Swedish biotechnology company leading in matrix biology and cell culture-based research, have entered into a partnership in order to supply 3D cell culture scaffolds, compatible with the RASTRUM™ platform, containing human recombinant laminin proteins (Biolaminin®). In this partnership, Inventia Life Science will now offer BioLamina’s extensive range of Biolaminin® products to be incorporated into the prevalidated library of RASTRUM™ Matrices, recapitulating the key motifs found in the native tissue of various cell types.

Laminins, important proteins found in cells’ and tissues’ extracellular matrix (ECM) and microenvironment, are typically required by cells for differentiation, migration and cellular adhesion. By including laminins in in vitro cellular models, researchers have not only been able to mimic the native ECM of various tissues, but also study the role of different laminin isoforms in disease progression and drug resistance mechanisms.

This new partnership aims to provide next generation complex 3D cell models incorporating BioLamina’s experience and product portfolio, which has already proved to be of high interest to many researchers, particularly those working in oncology settings. The production of these laminin-containing 3D models can now be conducted in a highly reproducible manner, while also being significantly boosted by the automated and high-throughput capabilities of the renowned RASTRUM™ 3D cell culture platform.

About BioLamina AB

BioLamina AB is a Swedish biotechnology company built on a scientific foundation with a legacy in matrix biology and cell culture-based research. Our flagship products, our biorelevant human recombinant laminin isoforms, Biolaminin®, are defined cell culture matrices that successfully imitate the natural, cell-specific cell-matrix interaction in the cell culture dish, allowing the cells to thrive and maintain their function. Our products are a powerful resource for scientists working with stem cells and primary cells both within basic research as well as in regenerative medicine companies with focus on cell therapy applications.
