Application note

Next generation animal-origin-free and defined skin cell culture

Discover how full-length laminins support the development and maintenance of functional, healthy skin by recreating the native basement membrane environment. Biolaminin® 521 and 511 provide a defined, animal-origin-free substrate that enables robust and reproducible culture of key skin cell types, including keratinocytes, melanocytes, and fibroblasts. By supporting adhesion, proliferation, and tissue-specific function, these laminins enable next-generation skin cell culture for research and regenerative applications.
