A scientist has developed a method for depositing laminin on the surface of tissue culture dishes. She expects to make a fortune by selling these dishes as improved adhesion surfaces for in vitro studies of all types of cell. What is your opinion?

Laminin refers to an extracellular protein, which exhibits the characteristic of binding the cells with each other, that is, possessing adhesive features. Generally, fibronectin is used for adhesion, however, it has also been found that coating of laminin can also be used for adhesion.  

Laminin works in adhesion as it possesses three shorter arms that help in sticking other molecules together and assists in the formation of sheets. Laminin can also help in making the properties of adhesion better by combining with the receptors like integrin-binding receptors and the receptors present on the surface of the plasma membrane. Hence, in my opinion, using laminin on the surface of tissue culture dishes can improve the property of adhesion much more.
