In initial experiments, Reuter was disappointed in the taste–the berry plant cell cultures were brightly colored but had a very mild flavor.

NUS scientists develop plant-based cell culture scaffold for cheaper, more sustainable cultured meat Besides speeding up the process of lab-based meat cultivation, these edible scaffolds can be 3D ...

Cultured meat (also known as cell-based or lab-grown meat) is a promising, more environmentally friendly alternative to meat produced from traditional livestock farming. However, production costs ...

Plant-based diets, insect farming, lab-grown meat and genetically modified animals have all been proposed as potential solutions. Which is best? All of these combined, say researchers.

“Such a cell line could produce say 10 times, 100 times, 1000 times more of those interesting compounds than the plant out there,” says Reuter. Dual-purpose Reuter says the pod bioreactor ...

While it’s hard to visualize what a commercial cell-based meat plant might look like as no player in this embryonic field is yet producing it at scale, delegates at a conference in San Francisco ...

Several recent tests tried using a vaccine shot as the first dose, with an edible plant-based vaccine derived from rice, cereals, or corn as a booster. For now, edible plant-based therapeutics are ...

SCiFi still hasn’t decided on a final ratio of cultured cells to plant-based material, but is experimenting with between 5% and 20% (for the study, they used 16.9% cultivated cells).

When chemistry major Jessica Holmes joined biophysicist Andrew Pelling’s Lab for Augmented Biology at the University of Ottawa, she was charged with an unusual task: coax mammalian cells to ...
