Optimising Cell Lines for Serum-Free Media with Gene Editing
If I remove serum but keep the same wild-type cell line, I should not expect media tuning alone to stop senescence, drift, or attachment loss. In this article, I show...

Synthetic Gene Circuits for Cell Differentiation
If you can expand cells but can’t switch them into the right fate at the right time, your process will stall at differentiation. That is the core point here: synthetic...

kLa Measurement Methods for Bioreactor Scale-Up
If you compare kLa values without matching the method, medium, temperature, and probe response, you can make the wrong scale-up call. For bioprocess engineers, cell culture scientists, and cultivated meat...

Metabolic Pathway Mapping for Cultivated Meat Cells
If you are building cultivated meat processes, metabolic pathway mapping helps you decide what to feed, when to feed it, and what sensors to use before cell state drifts. I’d...

Bioreactor Selection Guide for Scale-Up
If I had to cut this decision down to one line, it would be this: pick the bioreactor that keeps cell behaviour stable as volume climbs, not the one that...

Real-Time Monitoring Tools for Bioreactor Scale-Up
If I had to cut this article to one point, it would be this: at bioreactor scale, single-point monitoring stops being enough. Once you move past small bench vessels, mixing...

Customising Chassis Cells for Structured Meat Products
For cultivated meat R&D teams, producing structured whole-cuts like steaks or fillets requires more than just growing cells. The key lies in chassis cells - muscle, fat, and connective tissue...

How to Develop Emergency Protocols for Bioreactor Contamination
Key Contaminants: Bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma, viruses, cross-cell line contamination, and endotoxins. Detection: Use real-time monitoring (pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity), molecular testing (qPCR, ELISA), and AI-driven systems for early identification. Response...
