Analyzing cell culture medium costs
Liz Specht, Ph.D.This white paper explains different routes to lowering the cost of cell culture medium and making cultivated meat economically viable.
Cultivated
3D microenvironments for cell expansion
Proliferation and high-density cell growth are fundamentally important to scaling cultivated meat production. Recent demonstrations of stem cell expansion in 3D microenvironments such as encapsulated spheres or tubules can generate cell densities far higher than industry-leading stirred tank bioreactors with minimal loss of cell viability or stemness. As a scalable platform, the use of 3D microenvironments for stem cell expansion and differentiation—particularly with the relevant cell types used in cultivated meat—warrants further investigation.
