Project objective
This project develops a high-throughput biofabrication platform to create physiologically relevant 3D muscle–fat composite tissues advancing cultivated meat production for sustainable cellular agriculture. The approach integrates: 1) a high-yield microfluidic system for producing natural, protein-rich and edible microgels; 2) rapid generation of high-cell density muscle and adipose spheroids; and 3) AI-guided, modular aspiration-assisted bioprinting for scalable spatial tissue organization with tunable protein–lipid composition. By addressing key challenges in tissue scalability, structural fidelity, and functional maturation, this bio-manufacturing platform will advance both cellular agriculture and tissue engineering, paving the way for sustainable protein sources and next-generation regenerative technologies.
