German Researchers Spin Living Fibres to Shape the Future of Cultivated Meat - vegconomist - the vegan business magazine

German Researchers Develop Innovative Method for Cultivated Meat

A new patent from the DWI – Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials describes a fibre-spinning method that could transform cultivated meat production and texture formation.

The method involves producing edible fibres containing living cells, allowing structure and tissue to develop in one step.

Lead researcher Rahman Omidinia Anarkoli shared how the invention combines cells, edible microcarriers, and a cross-linkable gel spun together through a core–shell nozzle.

The cells grow inside the hollow fibres, aligning naturally along the length of each strand, similar to muscle tissue in nature.

Once cultured, the fibres can be bundled to form structured, marbled pieces of meat.
