Problem
Cultivated meat production faces challenges in achieving cost-effective and efficient muscle tissue growth, while drug discovery for muscle-related diseases requires improved in-vitro models. Current methods often result in high production costs, lengthy production cycles, and limitations in replicating authentic muscle tissue for drug screening.
Solution
ProFuse Technology addresses these challenges by providing advanced solutions for muscle cultivation and drug discovery. For cultivated meat, ProFuse offers cell lines and media supplements that enhance muscle cell differentiation, fusion, and maturation, leading to increased yield, accelerated production cycles, and reduced costs. In drug discovery, ProFuse develops in-vitro platforms using 3D human bioartificial muscle (BAM) that enables efficient screening of novel therapeutics for muscle loss and metabolic diseases. These platforms facilitate the development of drugs for conditions such as sarcopenia and muscle wasting associated with GLP-1 treatments.
Target Audience
ProFuse Technology serves cultivated meat companies seeking to optimize muscle tissue production and pharmaceutical companies engaged in drug discovery for muscle-related diseases.
