Abstract

This disclosure describes methods for growing cells on chickpea microcarriers as part of a process of creating a comestible food product. Generally, the disclosed method comprises adding chickpea microcarriers to cell culture media in a vessel. The chickpea microcarriers are mixed with non-human cells in the cell culture media. The chickpea microcarriers and non-human cells are mixed to adhere and grow the non-human cells on the surface of the chickpea microcarriers. After mixing, the non-human cells adhered to the surface of the chickpea microcarriers forms a textured cell tissue. The textured cell tissue can be harvested from the vessel and formed into a comestible food product.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a substrate apparatus (and methods of manufacturing the same) with one or more substrates having a substrate spacing for growing a cell mass. In particular embodiments, the disclosed substrate apparatus includes a substrate wound into a coiled configuration with an intra-coil spacing between coil layers. To provide the intra-coil spacing, certain implementations use a separator. For example, a separator is applied to a substrate surface, and the separator-substrate combination is wound together (e.g., around a spool). In turn, a locking element is attached to the substrate to maintain the coiled configuration. The separator is then removed via heat treatment, chemical treatment, or physical displacement-thereby leaving the intra-coil spacing between the coil layers. Alternatively, no separator is used to provide a substrate spacing. For example, in lieu of a separator, the locking element is actively applied to the substrate during the winding process.

Abstract

This disclosure relates to methods of shaping a raw cell-based-meat product using vacuum sealing. The disclosed method includes preparing a cell-mass mixture by mixing a grown cell mass with a binding agent. The cell-mass mixture is added to a mold that is covered with a film and vacuum sealed. Because, in some embodiments, the mold is rigid, the cell-mass mixture conforms to the shape of the mold, such as the shape of slaughtered or harvested meat. To shape a cell-based-meat product, an apparatus may be used with a mold for sealing and conforming a cell-mass mixture.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to one or more vacuum drying methods and apparatuses to partially dry a comestible cell-based meat product after being harvested from a bioreactor. The vacuum drying method includes implementing a pressure-temperature environment to evaporate a portion of the moisture content from a comestible cell-based meat product. In doing so, the vacuum drying method can concentrate protein in the comestible cell-based meat product, as well as minerals and other non-liquid components. Specifically, at refrigeration temperatures, the vacuum drying method preserves cellular structure of the comestible cell-based meat product and facilitates safe processing according to various rules and regulations for raw meat sale, distribution, and consumer consumption. In addition, lowered environmental pressure provides reduced drying times to achieve a particular moisture content criteria or threshold mass of the comestible cell-based meat product. Once partially dried, the comestible cell-based meat product can be subsequently processed for raw meat packaging.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a substrate apparatus (and methods of manufacturing the same) with one or more substrates having a substrate spacing for growing a cell mass. In particular embodiments, the disclosed substrate apparatus includes a substrate wound into a coiled configuration with an intra-coil spacing between coil layers. To provide the intra-coil spacing, certain implementations use a separator. For example, a separator is applied to a substrate surface, and the separator-substrate combination is wound together (e.g., around a spool). In turn, a locking element is attached to the substrate to maintain the coiled configuration. The separator is then removed via heat treatment, chemical treatment, or physical displacement—thereby leaving the intra-coil spacing between the coil layers. Alternatively, no separator is used to provide a substrate spacing. For example, in lieu of a separator, the locking element is actively applied to the substrate during the winding process.

Abstract

This disclosure relates to methods of washing cells from a grown cell mass to remove cell culture media and enriching the cells with a finishing media. The disclosed method includes growing a cell mass in cell culture media and then collecting and washing the grown cell mass with a series of wash buffers or a gradient wash buffer that changes over time. While the cell culture media contains nutrients and components beneficial for cell growth, cells grown in cell culture media often have off flavors, off aromas, poor color, poor salt/minerality compositions, and other shortcomings. Accordingly, the disclosed method comprises removing cell culture media remnants from a grown cell mass using a single or a series of wash media. The grown cell mass is further washed with a finishing or enrichment buffer to further improve sensory aspects and nutritional composition of the grown cell mass.

Abstract

This disclosure relates to methods of washing cells from a grown cell mass to remove cell culture media and enriching the cells with a finishing media. The disclosed method includes growing a cell mass in cell culture media and then collecting and washing the grown cell mass with a series of wash buffers or a gradient wash buffer that changes over time. While the cell culture media contains nutrients and components beneficial for cell growth, cells grown in cell culture media often have off flavors, off aromas, poor color, poor salt/minerality compositions, and other shortcomings. Accordingly, the disclosed method comprises removing cell culture media remnants from a grown cell mass using a single or a series of wash media. The grown cell mass is further washed with a finishing or enrichment buffer to further improve sensory aspects and nutritional composition of the grown cell mass.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a substrate apparatus (and methods of manufacturing the same) with one or more substrates having a substrate spacing for growing a cell mass. In particular embodiments, the disclosed substrate apparatus includes a substrate wound into a coiled configuration with an intra-coil spacing between coil layers. To provide the intra-coil spacing, certain implementations use a separator. For example, a separator is applied to a substrate surface, and the separator-substrate combination is wound together (e.g., around a spool). In turn, a locking element is attached to the substrate to maintain the coiled configuration. The separator is then removed via heat treatment, chemical treatment, or physical displacement — thereby leaving the intra-coil spacing between the coil layers. Alternatively, no separator is used to provide a substrate spacing. For example, in lieu of a separator, the locking element is actively applied to the substrate during the winding process.

Abstract

A product and process for extending the replicative capacity of metazoan somatic cells using targeted genetic amendments to abrogate inhibition of cell-cycle progression during replicative senescence and derive clonal cell lines for scalable applications and industrial production of metazoan cell biomass. An insertion or deletion mutation using guide RNAs targeting the first exon of the transcript encoding each protein is created using CRISPR/Cas9. Targeted amendments result in inactivation of p15 and p16 proteins which increases the proliferative capacity of the modified cell populations relative to their unaltered parental populations. Combining these amendments with ancillary telomerase activity from a genetic construct directing expression of a telomerase protein homolog from a TERT gene, increases the replicative capacity of the modified cell populations indefinitely. One application is to manufacture skeletal muscle for dietary consumption using cells from the poultry species Gallus gallus; another is from the livestock species Bos taurus.
