Advancements in Cellular Agriculture by Leveraging the power of Pluripotent STEM Cells (PSCs)

Advancements in cellular agriculture are leveraging the power ofpluripotent stem cells (PSCs) to produce cell-cultivated meat (also known as cultured meat or lab-grown meat). By enabling the generation of muscle, fat, and connective tissue cells in vitro, PSCs offer a sustainable and ethical alternative to conventional animal farming, with significant implications for food security, environmental conservation, and animal welfare.

Stem cells provide a renewable and scalable platform capable of differentiating into all the major cellular components of meat. Unlike primary animal cells, stem cells can be maintained indefinitely and directed toward specific lineages including myocytes, adipocytes, and fibroblasts, enabling continuous and controlled meat production without the need for animal slaughter.

Cell-cultivated meat production faces challenges including cost, scalability, and reproducibility. Traditional media formulations are expensive and often rely on animal-derived components. Additionally, robust protocols for differentiating stem cells into food-grade, species-specific cell types are still evolving.

Defined Bioscience provides animal-free, chemically defined media and growth factor solutions that help overcome the primary hurdles in cell-cultivated meat production. HiDef-B8 serves as a cost-effective, robust foundation for stem cell maintenance and early lineage specification, supporting both scalability and reproducibility. Importantly, Defined Bioscience provides thermostable growth factors (like FGF2-G3) that improve cost-efficiency by maintaining biological activity at lower concentrations and extended storage conditions. In addition, species-specific FGF2 homologs have been engineered to improve compatibility and performance in non-human systems, addressing a key bottleneck in animal cell culture for food applications. Defined Bioscience has collaborated with numerous startups and academic labs working at the forefront of cultured meat innovation, providing technical support and custom solutions.
