TUCCA is growing...fast!!! Coming on the heels of our launching the world's first undergraduate minor in cell ag, we are now opening a search for FIVE new full-time, dedicated cellular agriculture and future food faculty members 👉 apply.interfolio.com/145616

Some news that's been forever in the making: I wrote a novel! It's called THE SKY WAS OURS. It's coming from @PenguinBooks next spring (4/23/24). This is the cover, which I'm sharing today for the first time. And it's available for pre-order now: penguinrandomhouse.com/books… 1/x

I want to try spray-drying a protein solution, but it's expensive to test. Does anybody have good preliminary experiments to run on proteins to see if they're at all amenable to spray-drying? Trying to decrease the risk of spending the $$$ unnecessarily. Thanks!🤗

Registration is still open for the 9th International Scientific Conference on Cultured Meat! I'll be talking about genetic engineering for cultured meat and (as always) why Mondo Burger had it right. culturedmeatconference.com/r…

Goals: 1) emphasize how GM can help enable cell ag, 2) discuss consumer/regulatory considerations around GM and how they are evolving, and 3) convince the audience to watch the 1997 classic Good Burger so that my Mondo Burger references have a sufficiently appreciative audience.

Today marks 10 years from the world's first ever public tasting of cultured meat! Lost my photos from the event but held on to this guy. Not sure if I'm more affected by the timeframe or the fact that I've still never eaten any 😅

10 years ago I was one month into a summer internship in @Markpost's cultured meat lab, and ~2 months away from the first ever cultured beef tasting in London. Honestly pretty emotional to hear today's news about @UPSIDEfoods & @GOODMeat's USDA approval. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!

Very excited for the publication of our study in @stemcellreports on the nutritional requirements of hiPSC. This work resulted in the ultra simple formula BMEM. Less is more! cell.com/stem-cell-reports/f…

Burridge and colleagues describe a culture medium specifically developed for hiPSCs called BMEM. BMEM was developed using iterative titration of amino acids, vitamins, and salts, and is suitable for...

The study that this headline is based on is a pre-print, and the claim is based on the authors' assumptions that media inputs require purification analogous to the pharma industry:

Immortalized bovine satellite cells out now in biorxiv🐄 Motivated by a desire to get away from c2c12s or primary cells as the only options for our research, hopefully these can be a useful tool for the field. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

(and if you've already asked and things are stalled or I've failed to follow up, please let me know! I've been trying to keep track of it all, but worry that some may have fallen through the cracks as they go through MTAs, shipping cells, etc.)

Here, we engineer satellite cells to not need FGF2 in the culture medium. There's still a lot of work to go on this premise, but hopefully it's a useful start for using cell line engineering to reduce cultured meat media costs.
