Summary

As the global population grows, the demand for food and animal-derived products rises significantly, posing a notable challenge to the progress of society in general. Alternative protein production may adequately address such a challenge, and cell-based meat production emerges as a promising solution. This review investigates methodologies for <i>in vitro</i> myogenesis and adipogenesis from stem cells (adult, embryonic, or induced pluripotent stem cells - iPSCs) across different animal species, as well as the remaining challenges for scalability, the possibility of genetic modification, along with safety concerns regarding the commercialization of cell-cultured meat. Regarding such complexities, interdisciplinary approaches will be vital for assessing the potential of cell-cultured meat a
