Abstract: Provided herein are methods to increase the culture density and/or thickness of a cellular biomass in a cultivation infrastructure, to improve the culture of cells in the absence of serum in a cultivation infrastructure, and to promote anchorage-independent growth of a cellular biomass in a cultivation infrastructure. The methods comprise inhibiting the HIPPO signaling pathway, for example, by activating YAP1, activating TAZ, and/or inhibiting MOB1, LATS1 kinase, LATS2 kinase, WW45, MST1 kinase, and/or MST2 kinase in the cellular biomass. In some embodiments, the cellular biomass is harvested from the cultivation infrastructure for the formulation of cell-based food products or ingredients, such as animal meat manufactured from cells in an ex vivo process or for therapeutic applications such as organ or tissue transplantation or grafting.

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.

Abstract: The substrates, systems, and methods described herein relate to textured substrates for preparing a comestible meat product. Substrates and methods are described herein for controlling one or more of growth, adhesion, retention, and/or release of cells (e.g., of a cell sheet) on or from the surface of the substrate. A method of preparing a comestible meat product may include applying a plurality of non-human cells to at least one patterned texture substrate, growing the cells on the patterned texture substrate to form the comestible meat product, and separating the comestible meat product from the patterned texture substrate. The patterned texture allows for improved growth, adhesion, retention, and/or release of cells as compared to another surface not comprising the patterned texture. In some embodiments, the cell culture substrate surfaces include a plurality of regions corresponding to a plurality of patterned textures.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for flowing fluid for radially expanded particle distribution within a laminar flow. In some variations, a system for cultivating tissue may comprise a bioreactor comprising an inlet, a substrate arranged in the bioreactor, and a diffusion module configured to transfer fluid from the inlet to the substrate. The diffusion module may comprise a porous material having at least one tortuous conduit extending between a first surface of the porous material and a second surface of the porous material.
