Steakholder Foods Ltd. Files Revolutionary Patent Application, Paving the Way for Mass Production of Cultivated Meat
REHOVOT, Israel, Sept. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH), a leading international deep-tech food company, has announced the submission of a provisional patent application for its groundbreaking “Immortal Bovine Cell Line and Uses Thereof.” This innovative patent application is a significant step towards making commercial-scale cultivated meat production a reality, addressing the growing demand for alternative protein sources.
Revolutionizing the Cultivated Meat Landscape
The new patent application from Steakholder Foods enhances the growth capacity of bovine cells, leading to their immortalization and increased biomass production within a relatively short division time. This development opens new horizons for scale, repeatability, and cell growth—essential factors for the commercialization of cultivated meat technologies. With immortal cell lines, Steakholder Foods aims to provide a stable, renewable source for generating different tissues, thereby reducing the ecological impact of animal agriculture and improving nutritional options.
Utilizing the inherent self-replication and functional differentiation abilities of stem cells, the patent presents immortal cell lines capable of generating a broad array of tissues, such as muscle and fat. This positions Steakholder Foods at the forefront of revolutionizing the food industry, further demonstrating its technological prowess.
Immortal Cell Lines: A Paradigm Shift in Food Production
Dan Kozlovski, CTO of Steakholder Foods, explains the potential of the patent application: “In 100 generations of replications, a single cell in an immortal cell line could theoretically produce more than 3,250 trillion tons of meat. With around 350 million tons of meat consumed annually, immortal cell lines are paving the way to ensuring a slaughter-free meat supply for the foreseeable future. This isn’t merely a technological milestone; it’s a paradigm shift in how we envision food production for the future.”
