Steakholder Foods Ltd., an international deep-tech food company, is announcing the submission of a provisional patent application for its groundbreaking "Immortal Bovine Cell Line and Uses Thereof." This innovative development marks a significant step in making commercial-scale cultivated meat production a reality, meeting the growing need for alternative protein sources.
Steakholder Foods' new patent application enhances the growth capacity of bovine cells, leading them to immortalization and increased biomass production at a relatively short division time. This paves the way for scale, repeatability and growth — key factors needed for the commercialization of cultivated meat technologies. With immortal cell lines, Steakholder Foods aims to provide a stable, renewable source for generating different tissues in order to reduce the ecological impact of animal agriculture while improving nutritional options.
