Invitro Meat MUSCLES | ANIMAL TISSUES | CHEMISTRY IN THE KITCHEN.
When examining a body there are different types of muscles to research. Within the research towards this project there has been chosen to go investigate the “ long striped muscle” due its variety of different c e l l s w h i c h i t s h a s t o o f f e r. S o m e o f t h e m o s t i n t e r e s t i n g o n e s a r e t h e m u l t i p o t e n t i c a l c e l l s , p r o g e n i t o r cells and the most important one of them all ; the pleunipotenical cells. These last ones can be shaped in any molecular fixation wanted. This means that of when we chose to grow these cells there is no restriction when designing texture, structure, shape.In order to the design this is a very big advantage. Something we can find within any kind of muscle tissue is the presence of proteins. Regarding the project I’ve looked into the myofibrilaire and scaroplasmatical ones ( Connective tissues ), they c o n t a i n M y o s i n , m y o s i n e i s s o t o c a l l t h e “ g l u e ” o f m e a t . I t k e e p s e v e r y t h i n g t o g e t h e r. T h e s t r u c t u r e of Myosin strings has different fixations. Pressure or heat can influence the strength of the chains and the amount of presence. Within the project the advantage of this myosin could be used as a natural grown glue to benefit the design.This in combination with a smart of of the collagen structures .
