Out in @NatureRevMat, we chart the biomaterials toolkit for future foods: polysaccharides, plant & microbial proteins, lignin, polyesters, then show how AI-driven multiscale modeling can de-risk scale-up, tune texture + nutrition, and hit safety & LCA targets in cellular-ag and

Growing new tissues and organs in the lab holds incredible promise, but seeing what's happening inside these complex structures remains a major hurdle. Traditional optical imaging can’t penetrate the thick, opaque scaffolds often used in tissue engineering. To address this,
