Machine learning for ecosystem services

Ecosystem Services, 2018
Recent developments in machine learning have expanded data-driven modelling (DDM) capabilities, allowing artificial intelligence to infer the behaviour of a system by computing and exploiting correlations between observed variables within it. Machine learning algorithms may enable the use of increasingly available big data and assist applying ...

Enhanced Media Optimize Bovine Myogenesis in 2D and 3D Models for Cultivated Meat Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uses multiomics approaches to characterize bovine myogenesis in vitro, identifying media components that enhance myogenic progenitor cell differentiation in 2D and 3D models. Notably, the enhanced conditions promoted formation of unique cell populations and contractile muscle cells expressing mature myogenic markers.
