Description
Laminins are proteins composed of three subunits referred to as an α-chain, β-chain and γ-chain. They are a major component of the basal lamina that lines the external surface of cell membranes. Laminins play an important role in cell differentiation, migration, adhesion and are involved in supporting healthy tissue.
In disease modelling, CELLINK LAMININK 111 bioink is relevant for studying Parkinson’s disease and cancer models. The bioink comprises nanosized fibrils, which makes it semi-translucent and allows cell imaging and analysis. This bioink is suited for 3D culturing of brain, kidney, liver or intestinal cells.
- Shelf life: minimum 1.5 months.
- Storage conditions: 2-10°C, do not freeze.
- Includes CaCl2 Crosslinking Agent.
- For research use only. Not for human use.
