Lab grown chicken nuggets

Chicken nugget 1

Picture MUST credit: Shoji Takeuchi/University of Tokyo
Scientists have used an artificial circulatory system to produce chunks of lab-grown nugget-sized chicken chunks.
The bite-sized pieces have the same texture as real meat as well as being more environmentally friendly than the real thing.
Lab-grown meat, also known as cultured or cultivated meat, is meat produced from animal cells grown in a lab, rather than by raising and slaughtering animals.
This process, involves extracting a small number of animal cells, typically from a living animal to grow into muscle, fat, and connective tissue.
These cells are placed in a bioreactor, a tank filled with a nutrient-rich liquid, where they can multiply and grow.
For the new chicken nuggets, the bioreactor delivered nutrients and oxygen to artificial tissue instead through a system of tubes.
This has not been tried before and enabled the production of over 10 grams of chicken muscle for cultured meat.
To create the nuggets, the team first collected chicken fibroblast cells, which make up the animals' connective tissue and ran nutrients and oxygen to it through 50 extremely thin hollow fibres.
The system built by a team at the University of Tokyo in Japan produced a 2cm piece of lab-grown chicken nine days later.
Stress tests revealed it had a similar texture to normal chicken meat.
Analysis of amino acids in the lab-grown chicken showed it had similar levels of taste to normal chicken.
But it also had slightly higher sweet and broth-like taste profiles – something the researchers will work towards improving.
The team said that previously, lab-grown animal tissues have been limited to a thickness of less than 1mm, making it challenging to produce larger tissues with densely-packed cells.
OPS:The chicken tissue before the hollow bioreactor fibres were removed.

Picture MUST credit: R. Aoki, Y. Inui, Y Okabe et al. 2024/ Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B
Scientists say they have created hybrid plant-animal cells.
The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing organs and tissues for transplant, or lab-grown meat.
The new hybrid means animal cells can gain energy from sunlight like plants.
Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them.
Animals have mitochondria which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use.
Plants and algae use chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis to generate energy from sunlight for their cells.
In a new study led by the University of Tokyo in Japan, a team inserted chloroplasts from reg algae into animal cells harvested from hamsters
They discovered they continued to perform photosynthesis functions for at least two days.
OPS: Chloroplasts give plants and algae their green hue, and enable them to convert sunlight into food and oxygen, via photosynthesis. The chloroplasts (right) in this study were taken from a type of tiny red algae called Cyanidioschyzon merolae (left)

Human’s might one day be able to regenerate ageing cells to extend life spans after medical testing on humble fruit flies worked.
A team of researchers in Japan transferred genes from simple organisms able to regenerate into those of the more complex fruit fly.
It was discovered that the transferred gene suppressed an age-related intestinal issue in the flies.
The results suggest that studying genes specific to animals with high regenerative capability may uncover new mechanisms for rejuvenating and extending the healthy lifespan of other unrelated species.
The intestinal health of the flies was tracked with a blue dye which led researchers to name them Smurfs after the blue skinned animated characters.
The study was carried out by a team from the University of Tokyo's Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
OPS:The left two images show intestinal proteins of a fruit flay disrupted by aging, and those on the right show the same proteins better preserved against age-related mechanisms due to the genes transplant..

See Ferrari text
Pictures must credit:Shoji Takeuchi Research Group/University of Tokyo
Microscopic vehicles that can be manoeuvred by algae have been developed by scientists.
The minuscule single-cell algae are caught in baskets attached to micro-machines, carefully designed to allow them enough room to continue swimming.
Two types of vehicles were created — a “rotator,” which spins like a wheel, and the “scooter,” which was intended to move in a forward direction but in tests moved more surprisingly.
The team is planning to try different and more complex designs for their next vehicles.
The mini algae teams could be applied to assist with micro-level environmental engineering and research including pollution monitoring in water.
The machines were created using 3D printing technology called two-photon stereolithography.
This involves a printer that uses light to create microstructures from plastic.
The team from Shoji Takeuchi Research Group in Japan’s University of Tokyo worked at a scale of 1 micrometer which is equal to 0.001 millimetres.
According to the researchers, the most challenging part was optimising the design of the basket-shaped trap, so that it could effectively capture and hold the algae, a species called Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, when they swam into it.
OPS: Microscope image of the "scooter" micro-machine. Instead of one-direction movement as expected, the scooter displayed dynamic turns, rotations and a series of back-flips

Pictures must credit: Takeuchi et al / University of Tokyo
Robots are about to get a realistic facelift — using laboratory grown human skin cells.
The team behind it believe it could lead to better human-robot interactions.
And there could also be a spin-off for plastic surgery.
A team at Japan’s University of The Tokyo grew a mix of human skin cells on a collagen base, before placing it on a 3D-printed mould.
The skin boasted tiny built-in anchors, inspired by human ligaments, that keep it anchored to the robot surface as well as making it flexible and preventing tears as a robot moves.
Tokyo professor Shoji Takeuchi said while the process has captured the basic look of human skin, there is more work to be done.
Future iterations might include wrinkles, a thicker layer of skin, and even sweat glands and nerves.
The skin may even be able to heal itself like a real human epidermis.
The scientists are also working on sophisticated artificial muscles known as actuators, allowing for more lifelike expressions.
OPS:The new method can work on complex, curved, and even moving surfaces.

A humanoid robot has been developed to drive a car in a new spin on autonomous vehicles.
The robot, named Musashi, was able to steer, accelerate and brake an electric car around a test track.
The team behind it think that a bot capable of driving would be a better way for driverless cars to go.
Having a machine at the controls which is able to “see” and react to the road could possibly be done with less technology than that required for a completely autonomous vehicle.
Musashi was originally developed by Japanese researchers at the University of Tokyo in 2019 as a testbed for learning control systems.
It has similar proportions to a human plus joint and muscle structure inspired by it.
The robot was trained by members of the Jouhou System Kougaku Lab to master driving in a similar way to humans.

The robot was trained by members of the Jouhou System Kougaku Lab to master driving in a similar way to humans.

A humanoid robot has been developed to drive a car in a new spin on autonomous vehicles.
The robot, named Musashi, was able to steer, accelerate and brake an electric car around a test track.
The team behind it think that a bot capable of driving would be a better way for driverless cars to go.
Having a machine at the controls which is able to “see” and react to the road could possibly be done with less technology than that required for a completely autonomous vehicle.

A way of flat printing 2D objects which can be turned into 3D items simply by immersing them in hot water has been developed by scientists.
The technique uses origami, the Japanese art of paper folding.
These 2D printed shapes self-fold in seconds
The team said 3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object.
The process usually wastes a lot of material required to support the unfinished object.
The researchers combined 2D printing, origami, and chemistry to create a method of rapid 3D object fabrication without creating any waste material.
For some time, 3D printing has been used to prototype products and is now seeing more use in the fabrication of commercial items, including even parts for jet engines.
But every method of 3D fabrication comes with limitations, such as the long time taken to complete prints or the wastage of vestigial materials in printing.
The new system allows printed objects to self-fold into complex 3D shapes under the right conditions.
The team from the University of Tokyo in Japan have called this self-folding system 4D printing.

The team said 3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object.
The process usually wastes a lot of material required to support the unfinished object.
The researchers combined 2D printing, origami, and chemistry to create a method of rapid 3D object fabrication without creating any waste material.
For some time, 3D printing has been used to prototype products and is now seeing more use in the fabrication of commercial items, including even parts for jet engines.
But every method of 3D fabrication comes with limitations, such as the long time taken to complete prints or the wastage of vestigial materials in printing.
The new system allows printed objects to self-fold into complex 3D shapes under the right conditions.
The team from the University of Tokyo in Japan have called this self-folding system 4D printing.

A set of robotic arms which gives the human wearer an extra limbs like Spider-Man villain Dr Octopus, have been developed by engineers.
But the additional arms are currently not designed for a helping hand in manual work.
The Japanese robotics team behind the limbs, called JIZAI Arms says they are currently more of an artful addition showing how extra arms may one day be adopted.
The user wears a back back which has six terminals, each of which can accommodate one of the arms , all of which are detachable.
The researchers, based at the University of Tokyo, were inspired by a 1963 short story written by Nobel Prize-winning Japanese author Yasunari Kawabata.
In the story, a girl decides to lend her suitor one of her arms for the night.
A university spokesperson explained: “Half a century since the concept of a cyborg, part human, part machine, wearable robotics have in recent times. been the focus of much research.
“JIZAI Arms is a robotic limb system consisting of a wearable base unit with six terminals and detachable robot arms.
“The system was designed to enable social interaction between multiple wearers, such as an exchange of arms and explore possible interactions between digital cyborgs in a cyborg society.”
