2nd April, RNS. It's all there....
Technological Breakthrough
T-Rex Leather™, an LGL proprietary material forming part of its Elemental Leather™ range, was developed through a unique scientific collaboration between Lab-Grown Leather Ltd., The Organoid Company, with the marketing support of creative agency VML.
● Reconstruction: Scientists used AI-driven computational modelling to reconstruct complete collagen blueprints from fossilised T.rex sequences. Collagen being the principal structural element preserved in skin during the formation of leather.
● Cultivation: Using Lab-Grown Leather's Advanced Tissue Engineering Platform (ATEP™), which underpins Elemental Leather™, billions of engineered cells were cultivated to create a uniquely novel material based upon predicted prehistoric genomic information. This innovative platform facilitates the production of a new class of bio-material, offering unique aesthetics and feel not seen for 68 million years, whilst retaining structural properties found in traditional leather but without the need for animal slaughter or synthetic scaffolds.
● Sustainability: The resulting biomaterial is durable, repairable, biodegradable, and compatible with existing leather finishing techniques.
