Reducing production costs, known as scaling, is a significant obstacle in the advancement of cultivated meat. The cultivation process hinges on several key components, e.g., cells, media, scaffolds, and bioreactors. This study demonstrates an innovative approach, departing from traditional stainless steel or glass bioreactors, by integrating food-grade plant-based scaffolds thermoplastic film While films are commonly used for constructing fluidic systems, conventional welding methods...
The biological prototyping revolution is in motion, and new tools are needed to empower HCI researchers, designers, makers, bio-enthusiasts experiment with live organisms. We present OpenLH, a liquid handling system that empowers users conduct accurate repetitive experiments biology sterile, open, affordable way. OpenLH integrates commercially available robotic arm custom 3D printed parts, modified pipette, visual block-based programming interface. as commercial handlers, capable of tasks...
Aloe vera, renowned for its medicinal and food applications, offers a sustainable, scalable, cost-effective scaffold material cultured meat production. Our method repurposes vera parenchyma into sustainable innovative CM These scaffolds, derived from agricultural byproducts, feature porous structure that retains liquids supports bovine mesenchymal stem cell (bMSC) adhesion, proliferation, extracellular matrix formation. By incorporating oleic acid, the scaffolds enable accumulation of...
Biology labs routinely conduct direct experimentation with living organisms. However, most high-schools are not able to engage students in such due multiple factors: sterility, cost of equipment, skilled lab assistants, and difficulty measuring micro-scale processes. We present the design implementation My First Biolab (MFB), a box novel disposable fluidic vessel (experiment bag) using two sheets Polyacrylamide-Polyethylene channeling liquids via paths created laser-cutter. The system...
One of the main challenges cultured meat is reducing costs production, often described as scaling. The components cultivation process include: cells, media, scaffolds and bioreactors. This work presents an alternative to current stainless steel or glass bioreactors uses food-grade plant-based scaffolds. Bioreactors must be sterile leak-free maintain a proper environment for cell growth. Thermoplastic films are popular material constructing these fluidic systems, but traditional methods...
Microbe-HCI is a community whose works implicate micro-organisms in HCI. This special interest group venue for the first gathering of community, offering an opportunity networking and structured discussions. It encourages participation from both active new researchers to microbe-HCI, with objective acquiring overview people, themes, trends, prospective research pathways community.
Understanding microbiology concepts is highly relevant for everyday life, with wide implications on health and environment. It believed that these should be taught at high-school level. Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) a recommended approach learning scientific concepts, includes hands-on investigation, performing experiments, gathering data. IBL rarely applied in biology schools, mostly due to three aspects: (1) Lack of immediate feedback as microorganisms are invisible; (2) costly equipment;...
<title>Abstract</title> Aloe vera, renowned for its medicinal and food applications, presents a sustainable, scalable, cost-effective alternative cultured meat production. Our innovative method repurposes the vera parenchyma to produce sterile scaffolds with conducive porous structure that allows liquid retention. These scaffolds, demonstrating good biocompatibility, support adhesion, proliferation, extracellular matrix formation of bovine mesenchymal stem cells. The addition oleic acid...
This paper presents a novel method for fabricating fluidic circuits using laser printing technology. The allows rapid prototyping of macrofluidic devices with control over fluid manipulation and environmental conditions. We employed high-resolution cutter to etch channels into various substrates, optimizing parameters such as power, speed, substrate material. Our results demonstrate excellent performance in controlling flow maintaining conditions, handling wide range fluids rates. were...
This study introduces an innovative seeding method for cells on large scaffolds (1-100 sqcm) with accuracy of 0.1mm, comparing the conventional drop-wise technique automated approach using open sourced robotic liquid handling system (OpenLH). employs algorithm in which user inputs desired droplet volume and pattern dimensions such number rows, columns distance between droplets, thus optimizing distribution scaffold. By adjusting these parameters, achieves greater consistency over manual...
