Development of a culture process to expand and differentiate satellite cells, a first step en route to prototyping a cultivated bovine meat

This project consists of the first steps toward the development of a prototype of cultivated bovine meat and to produce at pilot scale. Starting from proprietary (Meatleo Inc.) bovine satellite cells, five (5) key objectives have been set: (1) To develop and validate a protocol, including a serum-free culture medium, to expand bovine satellite cells and to differentiate them into muscle fibers; (2) To develop and validate a protocol, including a serum-free culture medium, to expand bovine progenitor cells and to differentiate them into adipocytes.
