invited lecture

The use of opti-ox™ as a forward programming method has demonstrated remarkable potential in enhancing the differentiation speed and quality of pluripotent cells, particularly in the context of cultivated meat production. Pluripotent cells represent a promising resource for the development of cultivated meat, offering a sustainable and ethical alternative to traditional meat production....

4. Advancing the Biofabrication of Cultivated Meat - Strategies for Scalable and Textured Cell-Based Foods

Petra Kluger (Reutlingen University)

invited lecture

The development of cell-based foods, including cultivated meat, poultry, and fish, represents a promising solution to address the growing demand for sustainable protein sources. However, scaling up production while maintaining desirable texture and sensory attributes remains a key challenge. Biofabrication techniques offer innovative approaches to automate the processing of large cell masses...

498. Beyond the Blueprint of Nature: Innovera’s Path from Biomimicry to Pragmatic Biofabricated Solution

Hemanthram Varadaraju (Modern Meadow Inc)

16/09/2025, 16:10

invited lecture

Leather has long been valued for its aesthetic appeal and performance, serving humanity for centuries. However, traditional leather production places significant strain on natural resources, particularly water, and contributes to chemical pollution. While plastic-based alternatives have attempted to replicate leather, they often fall short in craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal.

250. Thick cultured meat fabricated using hollow fiber bioreactors with uniform fiber distribution

Minghao Nie (The University of Tokyo)

16/09/2025, 16:30

podium presentation

Creating scalable and functional tissue constructs is a critical challenge in tissue engineering and cultured meat production. However, current methodologies are limited by inadequate nutrient delivery, resulting in inconsistent tissue growth and limited scale-up capability.
To address this, we developed a novel hollow fiber bioreactor (HFB) featuring densely packed arrays of...

388. A recombinant extracellular matrix-like protein supports myogenesis in 3D bioprinted cultivated meat

David Kilian (Stanford University)

16/09/2025, 16:40

podium presentation

Introduction
With a growing world population, humanity faces increasing demands for food and availability of meat. Conventional mass production is inefficient, uses up valuable resources, and leads to detrimental ecological and ethical consequences. Cellular agriculture applies muscle tissue engineering principles to develop future protein sources. While proof-of-concept generation of...

344. Biofabrication of Microarchitected Cell-Based Meat Using Chaotic Bioprinting Strategies

Mario Moisés Alvarez (Tecnológico de Monterrey)

16/09/2025, 16:50

podium presentation

Introduction
The development of sustainable, structured cultivated meat represents a major challenge where tissue engineering and food technology must converge. Despite important achievements in recent years — including the isolation and expansion of satellite cells, and the blending of animal cells with plant-based matrices — replicating the hierarchical microarchitecture of real meat...
