Researchers Develop Hollow Fiber Bioreactor to Improve Cultivated Meat Texture and Scale
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a bioreactor that mimics a circulatory system, improving the production of cultivated meat by ensuring even nutrient and oxygen delivery to tissues. This new approach, published in Trends in Biotechnology, allows the creation of over 10 grams of chicken muscle tissue, addressing key challenges in scaling up cultivated meat production. Hollow fibers for nutrient delivery “We’re using semipermeable hollow fibers, which mimic …
