"Revolutionary Breakthrough Slashes Cultivated Meat Production Costs by 90%"
A breakthrough in cellular agriculture at Tufts University has led to bovine muscle cells that produce their own growth factors, potentially reducing cultivated meat production costs by up to 90%. This advancement could make sustainable meat alternatives more affordable and available in supermarkets. The research aims to optimize the process for commercial use and regulatory approval, with potential applications for other types of meat. The strategy involves engineering cells to produce their own growth factors, eliminating the need for expensive components in the production process and paving the way for affordable cultivated meat in the near future.
