WACKER Launches Bioengineered Growth Factor for Cultivated Meat
Chemical and biotech company WACKER has announced the launch of a new bioengineered growth factor, Recombinant bovine FGF-basic Food (FGF-2 Food), for use in cultivated meat production.
FGF-2 Food is produced microbially using fermentation and is free of animal-derived components. It is highly purified and meets the Global Food Safety Initiative’s strict quality standards.
When used in cultivated meat production, FGF-2 Food promotes cell proliferation, particularly of muscle and connective tissue cells, while preventing premature differentiation. This enables the use of cell culture media without animal-derived components such as fetal bovine serum.
Recombinant bovine FGF-basic Food (FGF-2 Food) is a breakthrough for cultivated meat production.
