Cultured beef holds promising potential as an alternative to traditional meat options. While adult stem cells are commonly used as the cell source for cultured beef, their proliferation and differentiation capacities are limited. To produce cultured beef steaks, current manufacturing plans often require the separate preparation of multiple cell types and intricate engineering for assembling them into structured tissues. In this study, we propose and report the co-induction of skeletal muscle, neuronal, and endothelial cells from bovine embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and the self-organization of tissue structures in 2- and 3-dimensional cultures. Bovine myocytes were induced in a stepwise manner through the induction of presomitic mesoderm (PSM) from bovine ESCs. Muscle fibers with sarcomeres appeared within 15 days, displaying calcium oscillations responsive to inputs from co-induced bovine spinal neurons. Bovine endothelial cells were also co-induced via PSM, forming uniform vessel networks inside tissues. Our serum-free, rapid co-induction protocols represent a milestone toward self-organizing beef steaks with integrated vasculature and innervation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
