In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted on cultured meat; however, the production of large-sized cultured meat continues to present a challenge. In this regard, 3D bioprinting emerges as a promising approach for generating large cell aggregates to facilitate cultured meat production. Utilizing digital light processing-based (DLP) printing, a hydrogel scaffold is created at the centimeter scale, offering high printing accuracy and the ability to construct complex geometric structures. Successful fabrication of scaffolds incorporating living cells and large microchannels has been achieved. Notably, the cooked cultured meat retains its original size and shape even after being cut, with overall dimensions measuring 3.43 cm x 5.53 cm x 0.96 cm. This study demonstrates the proof-of-concept for utilizing bioinks in the production of 3D cultured meat. Nevertheless, due to substantial disparities between the objectives of muscle tissue engineering for biomedical purposes and food applications, conventional strategies may prove unfeasible or socially unacceptable. Consequently, the pursuit of non-animal materials to foster muscle cell proliferation and alignment, without resorting to potentially toxic chemical modifications, represents an ongoing challenge. To address this, recent studies focusing on culturing and aligning muscle cells solely through plant-based materials will be presented as a potential solution for cultured meat production.<\/p>\n
