SHOP APPLICATIONS ABOUT US CONTACT SCIENCE ROOM ABOUT BIOLAMINA We are a Swedish biotechnology company with a global presence, offering cell culture matrices intended for culturing of primary cells. We offer an expansive portfolio of recombinant laminin proteins for a variety of applications, including reliable expansion of pluripotent cell and differentiation and maintenance of specialized cell types. BioLamina’s laminins are the only original full length, human, recombinant laminins on the market. Our high technology products contribute to our customer’s efficiency and scientific breakthroughs and enable them to start a new era in medical research. We are known and recognized for our premium products, competence, dedication and service and position ourselves as being in the forefront of cell culturing. Our vision is to make BioLamina a leading brand within the field of cell culture and to help make cell therapy a reality. BioLamina is built on a scientific foundation with a legacy in matrix biology and solid experience in cell culture based research. The company was established in 2008 and was co-founded by Dr. Karl Tryggvason and his son Dr. Kristian Tryggvason. Today the company has 15 employees spanning from production, R&D, logistics, sales and marketing. Our quality system complies with ISO 9001:2015 and both management and employees follow well-defined standard processes and agreements. OUR TECHNOLOGY BioLamina offer laminin-based cell culture matrices that allow you to imitate the natural, cell-specific cell-matrix interaction in vitro. Laminins are key extracellular matrix proteins, crucial for the modulation of cellular responses, such as anchorage, survival, proliferation, migration, organization, and specialization. Through their interaction with cellular receptors, laminins trigger cell-specific, authentic responses, leading to improved cell functionality. A biologically relevant culture environment, enhances cell maturation and organization, maintain specialized functions and enables mechanistic studies. Our cell culture matrices are robust and reliable and make cell culture easy and standardized. The BioLamina laminins are the only original full length, recombinant laminins on the market. A fractionated or truncated laminin molecule or laminins isolated from tissue, lack many vital binding domains. It is only in the past few years that specific laminins have been produced as full-length recombinant proteins with their biological activities intact. We offer an expansive portfolio of chemically defined and xeno-free laminin proteins for a variety of applications, including reliable expansion of pluripotent cell and differentiation and maintenance of specialized cell types, such as hepatocytes, skeletal muscle cells and different neural cells. The impact of our laminin matrices on cell culture quality has been scientifically validated in many high-impact journals. Read more about the different cell applications for our laminins LAMININ BIOLOGY Basement membranes (BMs) are sheet-like extracellular matrix (ECM) structures that underlie all epithelia and endothelia and surround individual cells. Laminin is the major glycoprotein component of the BM with a central role in BM structural organization and for the modulation of vital cellular responses. Laminins are heterotrimeric, multidomain proteins that consists of an alpha, beta and gamma chain. There are at least 16 different laminins identified in mammals. The different isoforms are named based on the chain composition. For example, laminin-521 has chain composition alpha5/beta2/gamma1. There are many binding sites on the full-length laminin molecule which can interact with cellular receptors. Through their interaction with cellular receptors, such as integrins and α-dystroglycan, laminin trigger cell-specific, cellular responses, including anchorage, survival, proliferation, migration, organization and specialization. Laminins are the only extracellular proteins that are cell type specific and without the right combination of laminin isoforms, cells and tissues becomes dysfunctional. Biorelevance is about emphasizing nature. Our chemically defined and xeno-free laminin cell culture matrices allow you to imitate the natural, cell-specific cell-matrix interaction in vitro, leading to improved cell functionality.
