Deciphering the Reversible Adaptation of PK15 Cells to Serum-Free Suspension Culture: A Stepwise Strategy and Molecular Insights

27 September 2026 · Viral Infectious Diseases and Gene Expression in Insects · Agriculture Sustainability and Environmental Impact · Reproductive Biology and Fertility

Porcine PK15 kidney epithelial cells adapted better through staged serum reduction than direct reduction, offering a possible route to scalable seed cell growth for cultivated meat. Researchers compared both methods, moved low-serum adherent cells into serum-free suspension, returned them to adherent culture, and analysed gene expression. Sequential adaptation preserved proliferation, cell-cycle progression and epithelial traits, while suspension cells shifted towards more efficient energy use. Re-adherence partly restored morphology, growth features and oxidative-stress measures. Reversible genes centred on adhesion and metabolism, making staged adaptation the stronger method tested.

Understanding Osmolalityas a Critical Process Parameterin Mammalian Muscle Cell Culture and Biomanufacturing

18 July 2026 · Viral Infectious Diseases and Gene Expression in Insects · thermodynamics and calorimetric analyses · Meat and Animal Product Quality

The review examines osmolality as a process variable in mammalian muscle culture and biomanufacturing. It combines physicochemical principles with evidence from muscle-lineage and wider mammalian bioprocess research, including limitations of calculation and measurement methods. Muscle cells operate within a narrow osmotic range, and deviations can alter growth, differentiation, and fusion. Medium ingredients share a limited osmotic allowance, while carbon dioxide and pH coupling, temperature, evaporation, scaffolds, and bioinks can cause drift. Tracking osmolality over time could improve control during scale-up.

Towards Cost-Effective and Sustainable Media Formulations for Terrestrial and Aquatic Cellular Agriculture

14 July 2026 · Protein Hydrolysis and Bioactive Peptides · Viral Infectious Diseases and Gene Expression in Insects · Insect Utilization and Effects

Media development for cultivated meat and seafood was reviewed with a focus on lowering cost, improving sustainability and ensuring food compatibility. The authors compared published serum-free formulations and assessed hydrolysates, modified growth factors, growth-factor substitutes and stabilizing agents, while also examining work on aquatic-cell media. They identified gaps in species-specific growth factors, particularly for aquatic organisms, and highlighted basal-media replacement, spent-media recycling and computational tools as research priorities. The review also discusses regulatory concerns and proposes performance measures for formulation development.
