Abstract
Cellular agriculture holds hope for a sustainable alternative to conventional meat, yet multiple technical challenges remain. These include the large-scale production of edible scaffolds and culturing methods for fat tissues, which are key to meat texture, flavor, and nutritional values. Herein. we disclose our method in the facile fabrication of sponge-like plant protein scaffolds by applying commercial sugar cubes as highly permeable templates. The prepared secalin scaffolds feature a high porosity of 85-90%, fully interconnected pores, and high water stability. The mechanical properties of scaffolds could be tuned by varying sugar-to-protein weight ratio and post-water annealing treatment. Moreover, murine preadipocytes (3T3-L1) and porcine adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) readily infiltrate, adhere, proliferate, and differentiate on the secalin scaffolds to develop a fat tissue morphology. A cultured fat tissue was produced by culturing porcine ADSCs for 12 days, which remarkably resembles conventional porcine subcutaneous adipose tissue in appearance, texture, flavor, and fatty acid profiles. The research demonstrates the great potential of sponge-like secalin scaffolds for cultured fat tissue production.

Abstract
Crusting has been developed as a non-chemical and non-machine intensive scaffold fabrication method. This method is based on the self-assembling ability of soy biomolecules, allowing the fabrication of a three-dimensional network for cell growth. Preliminary characterization revealed differences in pore size, water absorption, and degradation between pure soy-based scaffold (Y2R) and with added glycerol (Y2G). The Fourier-transform infrared spectrum absorbance peaks of functional groups related to proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids hinted the integration of soy biomolecules potentially via the Maillard reaction, as supported by the visible browning of the scaffold surface. Microscopic images revealed aligned myotubes in both scaffolds, with Y2G myotubes having greater proximity after 72 h of proliferation. Both spontaneous and electro-stimulated contractions were recorded as early as 72 h in proliferation medium. Crusting-fabricated soy-based scaffolds can further be explored for its application in cultured meat production.

Abstract
Research on cultured meat has primarily focused on the mass proliferation or differentiation of muscle cells; thus, the food characteristics of cultured meat remain relatively underexplored. As the quality of meat is determined by its organoleptic properties, cultured meat with similar sensory characteristics to animal-derived meat is highly desirable. In this study, we control the organoleptic and nutritional properties of cultured meat by tailoring the 2D differentiation of primary bovine myoblasts and primary bovine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells on gelatin/alginate scaffolds with varying stiffness. We assess the effect of muscle and adipose differentiation quality on the sensory properties of cultured meat. Thereafter, we fabricate cultured meat with similar sensory profiles to that of conventional beef by assembling the muscle and adipose constructs composed of highly differentiated cells. We introduce a strategy to produce cultured meat with enriched food characteristics by regulating cell differentiation with scaffold engineering.

Abstract
Cultured meat production has emerged as a breakthrough technology for the global food industry with the potential to reduce challenges associated with environmental sustainability, global public health, animal welfare, and competition for food between humans and animals. The muscle stem cell lines currently used for cultured meat cannot be passaged in vitro for extended periods of time. Here, we develop a directional differentiation system of porcine pre-gastrulation epiblast stem cells (pgEpiSCs) with stable cellular features and achieve serum-free myogenic differentiation of the pgEpiSCs. We show that the pgEpiSCs-derived skeletal muscle progenitor cells and skeletal muscle fibers have typical muscle cell characteristics and display skeletal muscle transcriptional features during myogenic differentiation. Importantly, we establish a three-dimensional differentiation system for shaping cultured tissue by screening plant-based edible scaffolds of non-animal origin, followed by the generation of pgEpiSCs-derived cultured meat. These advances provide a technical approach for the development of cultured meat.

Abstract
Fibrous wearable and implantable devices have emerged as a promising technology, offering a range of new solutions for minimally invasive monitoring of human health. Compared to traditional biomedical devices, fibers offer a possibility for a modular design compatible with large-scale manufacturing and a plethora of advantages including mechanical compliance, breathability, and biocompatibility. The new generation of fibrous biomedical devices can revolutionize easy-to-use and accessible health monitoring systems by serving as building blocks for most common wearables such as fabrics and clothes. Despite significant progress in the fabrication, materials, and application of fibrous biomedical devices, there is still a notable absence of a comprehensive and systematic review on the subject. This review paper provides an overview of recent advancements in the development of fibrous wearable and implantable electronics. We categorized these advancements into three main areas: manufacturing processes, platforms, and applications, outlining their respective merits and limitations. The paper concludes by discussing the outlook and challenges that lie ahead for fiber bioelectronics, providing a holistic view of its current stage of development.

Abstract
As an emerging technology to obtain protein by culturing animal-derived cells in vitro, it is crucial to construct 3D edible scaffolds to prepare structured cell cultured meat products. In this study, a scaffold based on gellan gum (GG)-gelatin (Gel) was prepared and further cross-linked with Ca2+. FTIR confirmed the electrostatic interaction between GG and Gel and the ionic cross-linking of Ca2+ and carboxyl groups, and SEM images showed the porous structure of the scaffolds. The staining results showed that scaffolds with high concentrations of Ca2+ had higher biocompatibility than scaffolds with low concentrations of Ca2+ and non-crosslinked scaffolds, and scaffolds Ca2+-GG2-Gel3-0.5 adhered to more cells and were more conducive to cell spreading. The immunofluorescence staining, SEM images, Western blot, and RT-qPCR showed that the scaffolds supported the proliferation and myogenic differentiation of chicken skeletal muscle satellite cells (CSMSCs) and myotubes were formed on the scaffolds. Finally, the scaffolds were stained and fried after culturing. The results of the textural and chromatic analysis showed that the texture and color of the scaffolds were similar to fresh meat and meat products. These results showed that ionically crosslinked GG-Gel scaffolds are biocompatible and stable for structured cell cultured meat models.

Abstract
Cellular agriculture is an emerging field rooted in engineering meat-mimicking cell-laden structures using tissue engineering practices that have been developed for biomedical applications, including regenerative medicine. Research and industrial efforts are focused on reducing the cost and improving the throughput of cultivated meat (CM) production using these conventional practices. Due to key differences in the goals of muscle tissue engineering for biomedical versus food applications, conventional strategies may not be economically and technologically viable or socially acceptable. In this review, these two fields are critically compared, and the limitations of biomedical tissue engineering practices in achieving the important requirements of food production are discussed. Additionally, the possible solutions and the most promising biomanufacturing strategies for cellular agriculture are highlighted.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a sophisticated field that involves the integration of various disciplines, such as clinical medicine, material science, and life science, to repair or regenerate damaged tissues and organs. To achieve the successful regeneration of damaged or diseased tissues, it is necessary to fabricate biomimetic scaffolds that provide structural support to the surrounding cells and tissues. Fibrous scaffolds loaded with therapeutic agents have shown considerable potential in tissue engineering. In this comprehensive review, we examine various methods for fabricating bioactive molecule-loaded fibrous scaffolds, including preparation methods for fibrous scaffolds and drug-loading techniques. Additionally, we delved into the recent biomedical applications of these scaffolds, such as tissue regeneration, inhibition of tumor recurrence, and immunomodulation. The aim of this review is to discuss the latest research trends in fibrous scaffold manufacturing methods, materials, drug-loading methods with parameter information, and therapeutic applications with the goal of contributing to the development of new technologies or improvements to existing ones.

Abstract
Engineered cardiac tissues (ECTs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are viable alternatives for cardiac repair, patient-specific disease modeling, and drug discovery. However, the immature state of ECTs limits their clinical utility. The microenvironment fabricated using 3D scaffolds can affect cell fate, and is crucial for the maturation of ECTs. Herein, the authors demonstrate an electric-field-driven (EFD) printed 3D highly ordered microstructure with cell feature size to promote the maturation of ECTs. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the EFD jet microscale 3D printing overcomes the jet repulsion without any prior requirements for both conductive and insulating substrates. Furthermore, the 3D highly ordered microstructures with a fiber diameter of 10-20 µm and spacing of 60-80 µm have been fabricated by maintaining a vertical jet, achieving the largest ratio of fiber diameter/spacing of 0.29. The hiPSCs-derived cardiomyocytes formed ordered ECTs with their sarcomere growth along the fiber and developed synchronous functional ECTs inside the 3D-printed scaffold with matured calcium handling compared to the 2D coverslip. Therefore, the EFD jet 3D microscale printing process facilitates the fabrication of scaffolds providing a suitable microenvironment to promote the maturation of ECTs, thereby showing great potential for cardiac tissue engineering.

Abstract
Edible microcarriers are essential for developing cell-based meat in large-scale cell cultures. As they are required to be embedded in the final products, the microcarriers should be edible, biocompatible, cost-effective, and pathogen-free. The invention of edible animal-free microcarriers would be a breakthrough for cell-based meat culture. We reviewed the fabrication techniques and the materials of microcarriers, and found that plant proteins, having diverse structures and composition, could possess the active domains that are hypnotized to replace the animal-based extracellular matrix (ECM) for meat culture applications. In addition, the bioactive peptides in plants have been reviewed and most of them were resulted from enzyme hydrolysis. Therefore, plant proteins with rich bioactive peptides have the potential in the development microcarriers. Our work provided some new trains of thought for developing plant-based biomaterials as ECM materials and advances the fabrication of microcarriers for meat culture.
