Versatile platforms of mussel-inspired agarose scaffold for cell cultured meat.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Biomaterial scaffolds are critical for cell cultured meat production. polysaccharide scaffolds lack essential animal cell adhesion receptors, leading to significant challenges in cell proliferation and myogenic differentiation. Thus, enhancing cell adhesion and growth on polysaccharide scaffolds is strongly required to supply the gaps in cell-cultured meat production.

Objectives

This study aims to develop a multifunctional cell-responsive hydrogel scaffold for the in vitro production of myofibers and structured cell cultured meat through a "cell adhesion-proliferation-differentiation" strategy.

Methods

A polydopamine coating was applied to agarose hydrogel scaffolds using a dipping technique. The capability of scaffolds for myofiber preparation was assess
