Improved culture procedure for bovine muscle satellite cells for cultured meat

초록

Many researchers and companies around the world are reported to have developed cultured meat, but their specific techniques have rarely been disclosed. Thus, the purpose of this study is to provide an improved procedure for cultured meat. There are four major steps in this cultured meat production: muscle cell isolation, proliferation, differentiation, and validation. The improved isolation enabled the efficient removal of unnecessary cells and tissues compared to previous procedures. In addition, proper use of basal media can improve the proliferation efficiency by about 2-fold. During the differentiation process, improved procedure was performed by using 10 % horse serum-containing media after 3 days of initial differentiation for myotube induction. This method demonstrated significantly enhanced myotube formation, up to 2.6-fold increase in area and up to 1.9-fold increase in fusion index compared to the previous method. This study provides a simple, improved procedure to enable more effective cultured meat production compared to previous procedures and is expected to help produce inexpensive and safe cultured meat. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd
