Formation of contractile 3D bovine muscle tissue for construction of millimetre-thick cultured steak

Abstract Owing to the increase in the global demand of meat, cultured meat technology is being developed to circumvent a shortage of meat in the future. However, methods for construction of millimetre-thick bovine muscle tissues with highly aligned myotubes have not yet been established. Here, we pr...
