Cultured meat takes another step toward growing meat from livestock animal cells for human consumption

Cultured meat could reduce resources required in meat production, with a smaller environmental footprint relative to animal farming A team of Tufts University-led researchers exploring the development of cultured meat found that the addition of the iron-carrying protein myoglobin improves the growth, texture and color of bovine muscle grown from cells in culture. This development

On-demand high resolution wrinkling for reversible printing

Scientists engineer on-demand high resolution wrinkling for reversible printing and thermal regulation Researchers at Tufts University School of Engineering have developed silk materials that can wrinkle into highly detailed patterns – including words, textures and images as intricate as a QR code or a fingerprint. The patterns take about one second to form, are stable,

New collagen scaffolding technique to benefit tissue engineering

The result is a collagen scaffolding that is stronger than that produced by conventional processes. Collagen is the main component of connective tissues and the most abundant protein in the human body. Biocompatible and biodegradable, it is an excellent material for making scaffolding for tissue engineering. The trouble is, conventional techniques disrupt the fibrous structure
