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 ...

Another advantage of the plant-based scaffolds is that they are edible, making them suitable to be eaten along with the lab-grown meat. When cells are cultivated on plastic scaffolds, they have to ...

The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing organs and tissues for transplant, or lab-grown meat. Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, ...

Plant cell wall components such as cellulose are abundant sources of carbohydrates that are widely used in biofuels and bioproducts; however, extraction of these components from plant biomass is ...
