This study demonstrates a novel strategy to enhance the organoleptic and nutritional properties of cultured meat by precisely regulating cell differentiation using scaffold engineering. By controlling the stiffness of gelatin/alginate scaffolds, the researchers tailored the 2D differentiation of bovine myoblasts and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. This approach led to the fabrication of cultured meat with sensory profiles closely resembling conventional beef, achieved by assembling muscle and adipose constructs composed of highly differentiated cells.
