Key Takeaway: Decellularized broccoli florets can be used as a scaffold for cultured meat production.

Research Topics: scaffold

Summary

Richard Thyden et al. investigate decellularized broccoli florets as microcarrier scaffolds for cultured meat production. Broccoli florets are decellularized to remove all cells from its cellulose scaffold and physically characterized. These scaffolds are then seeded with bovine satellite cells. The decellularized broccoli florets are found to have comparable physical properties to synthetic microcarriers, and they successfully support cell adhesion and viability. Thyden et al. argue that broccoli florets may be an economic, scalable scaffold for cultured meat.
