Potentially Unlimited Supply – Scientists Grow Meat From Immortal Stem Cells
Differentiated immortalized bovine stem cells with fully expressed muscle proteins (blue = nuclei; magenta = myogenin; green = myosin). Scale approx 1 mm. Credit: Andrew Stout, Tufts UniversityMinimizing the necessity for animal biopsies, stem cells offer a potentially endless source for cultured meat.For cellular agriculture—a technique that grows meat in bioreactors—to successfully feed millions, numerous technological hurdles must be conquered. The production of muscle cells from sources such as chicken, fish, cows,…
