#SteelGuruBusinessNews#OnlineNews#BusinessNews#FoodNews#3DPrintingNews#MeaTech#AnimalFreeMeatThe Israeli meat bioprinting company MeaTech announced that it has completed a successful test in sorting stem cells it has produced and turning them into muscle cells. Muscle cells are required for meat growth using three-dimensional printing technology. This technology aims to enable the production of meat directly instead of raising the entire animal and slaughtering it. The company takes a sample of stem cells from an animal, reproduces these cells, and divides them into different meat components, aiming to 3D print the cultured meat in an accurate shape and structure.Meat-Tech’s most important experiment to date transpired as part of the company’s multi-year work plan. The plan is to develop an industrial process, with integrated 3D digital printing technology, for growing and producing cuts of beef without harming animals. Designated as “Project Carpaccio”, due to its similarity to the thinly-sliced meat delicacy, Meat-Tech applied its proprietary 3D printer for tissue construction, followed by a cell-growth process. Meat-Tech’s scientists succeeded in printing several cell types, which coalesced into a single fat and muscle tissue grown in Meat-Tech’s laboratory.This feat has brought about the coalescence of a living tissue composed of several different bovine cells. The experimental results were analysed by a professional examiner and corroborated by the company’s audit committee.3D printed animal-free meat is a milestone that demonstrates three significant process capabilities attained by Meat-Tech: Successful sorting of stem cells into fat and muscle cells, allowing the synthesis of muscle fibres and fat tissue Formulation and production of bio-inks designed to print fat and muscle cells to ultimately form tissues and The formation of printed tissue containing coalesced fat and muscle cells
