Animal cell culture
Aseptic propagation of vertebrate muscle, fat and stem cells in controlled bioreactors outside the living animal — the basis of cultivated meat.
Where it's used
Cultivated meat
Genuine animal muscle and fat tissue grown from starter cells in bioreactors, decoupling meat from livestock while cutting the land, water and climate footprint of conventional husbandry.
Cultured seafood
Genuine fish, crustacean and mollusc tissue grown from fish cells in bioreactors, offering sushi-grade seafood without fishing pressure on wild stocks or the feed-fish burden of aquaculture.
