TLDR
C culturing meat may provide opportunities for production of novel and healthier products and should be efficiently produced and should mimic meat in all of its physical sensations, such as visual appearance, smell, texture and of course, taste.

Meat consumption, health, and the environment

TL;DR: There is less agreement over the degree to which the state should use health, environmental, or animal welfare considerations to control the supply of meat through interventions that affect the production, sale, processing, and distribution of meat and meat products or the price to the consumer.

Mitigation Pathways Compatible with 1.5°C in the Context of Sustainable Development

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of the work of the authors of this paper, including the following authors: Katherine Calvin (USA), Joana Correia de Oliveira de Portugal Pereira (UK/Portugal), Oreane Edelenbosch (Netherlands/Italy), Johannes Emmerling (Italy/Germany), Sabine Fuss (Germany), Thomas Gasser (Austria/France), Nathan Gillett (Canada), Chenmin He (China), Edgar Hertwich (USA/Austria), Lena Höglund-Is

The environmental sustainability of insects as food and feed. A review

TL;DR: This work reviews the environmental sustainability of insect farming compared to livestock production and provides examples of aquatic insects whose populations are threatened by pollution, caterpillar species in Africa that are disappearing due to overexploitation, habitat changes, and environmental contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consumer perception and behaviour regarding sustainable protein consumption: A systematic review

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review identified 38 articles to answer the following three research questions: 1) are consumers aware that meat consumption has a large environmental impact? 2) Are consumers willing to reduce meat consumption or substitute meat with an alternative? 3) Are they willing to accept meat substitutes and alternative proteins, such as insects or cultured meat?

Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cultures by defined factors.

TL;DR: Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic or adult fibroblasts by introducing four factors, Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4, under ES cell culture conditions is demonstrated and iPS cells, designated iPS, exhibit the morphology and growth properties of ES cells and express ES cell marker genes.

Livestock's long shadow: environmental issues and options.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the full impact of the livestock sector on environmental problems, along with potential technical and policy approaches to mitigation, and suggest that it should be a major policy focus when dealing with problems of land degradation, climate change and air pollution, water shortage and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity.

Satellite cell of skeletal muscle fibers.

TL;DR: In the course of an electron microscopic study of the peripheral region of the skeletal muscle fiber of the frog, the presence of certain cells, intimately associated with the muscle fiber, have been observed which the authors have chosen to call satellite cells.

Substrate Elasticity Regulates Skeletal Muscle Stem Cell Self-Renewal in Culture

TL;DR: Using a bioengineered substrate to recapitulate key biophysical and biochemical niche features in conjunction with a highly automated single-cell tracking algorithm, it is shown that substrate elasticity is a potent regulator of MuSC fate in culture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stem cell function, self-renewal, and behavioral heterogeneity of cells from the adult muscle satellite cell niche.

TL;DR: Within a normally stable tissue, the satellite cell exhibits archetypal stem cell properties and is competent to form the basal origin of adult muscle regeneration.
