Cultivated meat is an emerging field, aiming to establish the production of animal tissue for human consumption in an in vitro environment, eliminating the need to raise and slaughter animals for their meat. To realise this, the expansion of primary cells in a bioreactor is needed to achieve the high cell numbers required. The aim of this study was to develop a scalable, microcarrier based, intensified bioprocess for the expansion of bovine adipose-derived stem cells as precursors of fat and muscle tissue.

Article Synopsis
  • Cataract surgery can worsen dry eye symptoms, possibly due to factors like surgical light exposure and tissue disruption.
  • An in vitro experiment showed that light from a halogen bulb delayed wound healing in conjunctival fibroblasts and reduced their viability by 20% after exposure.
  • The findings indicate that light exposure during surgery may contribute to post-operative dry eye, suggesting the need for more research on its effects on various ocular cells.
