Abstract:
Cultivated meat has the potential to revolutionize food production, but its progress is hindered by fundamental shortcomings of mammalian cells with respect to industrial-scale bioprocesses. Here, we discuss the essential role of cell line engineering in overcoming these limitations, highlighting the balance between the benefits of enhanced cellular traits and the associated regulatory and consumer acceptance challenges. We believe that careful selection of cell engineering strategies, including both genetic and non-genetic modifications, can address this trade-off and is essential to advancing the field.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
