Utmanar Car-T
Svenska Biolamina ska utveckla metoder för tillverkning av NK-celler. "Orsakar inte någon immunreaktion".
Life Science Sweden, November 7, 2018
BioLamina and partners aim to develop new methods to differentiate unlimited amounts of NK-cells to fight cancer
Together with Rheincell Therapeutics and the University Clinic in Düsseldorf (Universitätsklinikum Düsseldorf), over the next two years, BioLamina will develop methods to differentiate NK cells supported by a grant of 12 MSEK from Swedish Vinnova and German ZIM. BioLamina’s expertise with laminin technologies will be used to differentiate stem cells into NK-cells, which are then further manipulated to form CAR-NKs. The CAR-NKs are predicted to be safer to patients, and potentially even more efficient in treating some forms of cancer than the current “star” of the proverbial cell therapy sky, the CAR-T cell. CAR-T cells have significantly increased the prognosis for cancer patients, with two approved therapies in Europe alone. With success, the stem cell-derived CAR-NKs borne of this collaborative effort could prove to be another game-changer in the field of cancer therapeutics.

BIOLAMINA announces an OEM partnership with CELLINK for the development of biologically relevant bioink products for bioprinting
During recent years, 3D-Bioprinting has emerged as a powerful cell culture technology but has also been hampered by the lack of a biologically relevant Bioink. Today, CELLINK launches a brand new Bioink containing BIOLAMININS, that will enable scientists to combine the unique properties of the laminin protein with culturing cells in a 3D-environment. This approach will advance the 3D-Bioprinting technology since the biological effect of the laminin protein will improve the structure and biochemical features, creating a microenvironment more authentic to the in vivo setting.
