Also, FBS is derived from blood collected from the calves of pregnant dairy cows at slaughter, but eliminating animal cruelty is a key tenet of cell-based meat production.
Dutch startup Meatable has developed a feasible solution to these problems using a cell-programming technology called OPTi-OX developed in 2014, which, in turn, was based on Nobel Pr...
