Cultured meats are grown in bioreactors and offer an alternative to raising and slaughtering live animals. The process starts with a small number of cells sourced from donor animals or cell banks. Researchers then generate cell lines that are, hopefully, immortalized. The cells proliferate in a growth medium that typically consists of amino acids, sugars, fats, salts, pH buffers and signaling molecules to encourage cells to proliferate.
