Cultured meat that looks and handles like real meat
Novel technology uses 3D printing to fuse muscle cells into significant muscle fibers
MeaTech 3D Ltd., a relatively new international food technology company specializing in cultured meat, demonstrated a significant improvement in its differentiation process from stem cells to muscle fibers. The company has succeeded in accelerating the formation of real living muscle fibers and enhancing their quality to mirror key characteristics of farm-raised meat.
These results show the process in which bovine stem cells were isolated, proliferated in the lab and differentiated into matured muscle cells with improved muscle fiber density, thickness and length. Based on these improvements, MeaTech has filed a provisional patent application with the USPTO.
