The cultivated meat industry has captured headlines and struggled with economics. Meanwhile, plant cell biomanufacturing is quietly solving the cost equation and approaching commercial launch. The question isn't whether cellular agriculture can work at scale. It's which applications will get there first, and what bioprocessing innovations will make it possible.In Part 2, we dive into the commercialization challenges that separate laboratory curiosity from market-ready products. Steven Lang tackles the hard questions: How do you replicate chocolate's complex flavor profile without traditional fermentation? What analytical infrastructure ensures product consistency and safety? And how do you build the right team and data foundation to navigate the journey from premium launch to commodity-scale production?Steven's background spanning Johnson & Johnson, Genentech, and Upside Foods gives him a unique perspective on what works and what doesn't when translating biopharma rigor to food applications. At California Cultured, he's applying those lessons to launch high-flavanol cocoa powder in 2026, with a clear roadmap to commodity cocoa and coffee thereafter.In this episode:The challenge of replicating chocolate's taste and fermentation in the lab (02:39)How plant cell culture differs from conventional farming and its advantages for safety and scalability (03:03)Analytical methods and equipment needed for consistent, safe, and high-quality cultured cocoa products (05:05)The potential for cell-based food to minimize heavy metals and other contaminants in chocolate (06:09)Environmental implications: tackling climate change, deforestation, and the realistic timeline for widespread adoption of lab-grown foods (06:50)Emerging opportunities beyond cocoa and coffee—saffron, ginseng, echinacea, and even lab-grown wood (08:40)Key advice for scientists and entrepreneurs interested in entering the cellular agriculture field (10:12)Building successful teams and robust data foundations in biotech startups (11:43)Key takeaway:Cellular agriculture's future isn't a single technology replacing conventional food production. It's multiple parallel approaches creating resilience in global food systems. The opportunity is clear: the technical principles you've mastered in biopharma translate directly to food applications, but the faster commercialization timelines and novel business models require rethinking what "stage-appropriate development" means.The question for bioprocess leaders is whether you'll help build the solutions to bridge the food production gap, or watch from the sidelines as food security becomes the defining challenge of our generation.Here is the previous conversation with Steven Lang:Episodes 55-56: Cultivated Meat: A Promising Future or an Inevitable Bubble? with Steven LangConnect with Steven Lang:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/steven-lang-b003406California Cultured Inc.: www.cacultured.comNext step:Need fast CMC guidance? → Get rapid CMC decision support hereSupport the show

In this episode of Inside Winemaking, Jim Duane speaks with Leigh Meyering of MyEnologist about the practical and analytical aspects of heat and cold stability in wine. The discussion focuses on how and why protein haze and tartrate instability occur, with an emphasis on white and rosé wines. Leigh explains the principles behind heat stability testing, protein denaturation, and the use of bentonite to prevent haze, as well as how stability concerns differ between red wines and lighter-colored styles. The conversation also addresses the sensory and chemical impacts of stabilization decisions, including common concerns around stripping, mouthfeel, and visual clarity in finished wines. The episode then moves into cold stability, detailing the Davis conductivity, DIT, and ISTC 50 tests and how to choose the appropriate method based on a winery's stabilization strategy. Leigh outlines the roles of traditional chilling and seeding, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and mannoproteins, including their limitations and compatibility with protein stability. Throughout the discussion, Jim and Leigh emphasize correct sampling strategy, filtration level selection, and timing of tests to ensure results accurately represent the wine that will be bottled. Practical lab workflows, sample volume requirements, and real-world bottling considerations are covered to help winemakers reduce risk and avoid post-bottling stability issues. Leigh previously appeared on Inside Winemaking in May 2019 to discuss the founding and early development of her wine lab, MyEnologist, including its analytical services and role in supporting winemakers. This episode builds on that earlier conversation by applying lab-based analysis directly to cellar decision-making, with a focused, technical look at stability testing and intervention strategies used in modern winemaking.

2026-01-26 | UPDATES #113 | “Treason” in the PLA? Xi's unprecedented purge — corruption, loyalty, and coup rumours. Today's story is not “just another corruption scandal” in China. This is the Chinese Communist Party reaching up into the absolute top of the People's Liberation Army — right into the room where war plans live — and yanking out two senior figures in one move. Top figures in fact. Beijing's official language is clipped. The implications are not. China's defence ministry says it has opened investigations into General Zhang Youxia — a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, effectively the uniformed number two under Xi Jinping — and General Liu Zhenli, a CMC member and chief of the Joint Staff Department. The stated reason: “suspected serious violations of discipline and law.” (Reuters)----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: Xinhua: Defence ministry announcement (Jan 24, 2026).

What if the failure rate in clinical trials isn't about picking the wrong drug candidates—but about testing them in the wrong models?When you move cells from a 2D culture plate into a bioreactor, you're not simply scaling volume. You're fundamentally changing the biological context. Cell density shifts. Mass transfer dynamics evolve. Mechanical cues emerge. The cells sense these changes and respond—often in ways that derail strategies built on oversimplified assumptions.Most preclinical research still relies on flat plastic surfaces and animal models that miss critical aspects of human biology. The result? Therapeutics fail late in development because the models couldn't predict how human tissues would actually respond.In this episode, David Brühlmann speaks with Catarina Brito, Principal Investigator at ITQB NOVA and Head of the Advanced Cell Models Laboratory at iBET and ITQB NOVA in Portugal. Catarina's career-defining insight came early: studying glycan-protein interactions in murine versus human cells revealed that species differences weren't just nuances—they were fundamental gaps that could mislead entire research programs.Catarina and her team have developed neural, liver, and tumor models that capture the multicellular complexity and microenvironmental cues that 2D cultures cannot replicate. Her work creates preclinical models sophisticated enough to predict human responses while remaining scalable for drug development workflows.Highlights of the episode:Limitations of traditional 2D cell cultures and animal models in capturing realistic tissue behavior and therapeutic responses (06:27)Catarina Brito's personal scientific journey: from discovering model limitations to pioneering 3D culture systems in neural and liver tissues (04:19)How advanced 3D models recreate cell-to-cell interactions, tissue-specific microenvironments, diffusion gradients, and multicellular complexity (10:35)Regulatory movements toward reducing animal models, and the challenge of validating advanced alternatives for systemic biology studies (09:10)Key differences in designing bioreactors for various cell types, with practical examples from liver and neural models (15:16)The impact of scalable, robust 3D models on accelerating drug development and improving selection of candidate therapies (17:22)Key Takeaway:Bioprocess development starts when you choose the model that validates your therapeutic approach. If that model can't capture the biology that matters, every downstream optimization is built on a flawed foundation.In Part 2, Catarina reveals how 3D tumor microenvironments expose drug resistance mechanisms invisible in 2D cultures, and her vision for AI-powered digital twins enabling personalized medicine.Subscribe & Review:If this conversation changed how you think about preclinical model selection, leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

What happens when a modular construction company leads with people first? Jon Scott of Creative Modular Construction joins the show to share how their motto—“We build people. We build buildings.”—is more than a slogan; it's the engine behind their remarkable growth. Jon walks through how CMC develops leaders on the shop floor, supports individuals from all backgrounds, and creates a culture where trust, purpose, and personal transformation translate directly into performance. We also discuss how CMC's people-first mindset has made it easier to adopt new processes and technologies (like Strucsoft) as they scale, blending craftsmanship, innovation, and culture into a resilient modular workflow. You'll Learn: How CMC builds a people-first culture that drives productivity and retention • Why investing in personal growth leads to stronger teams and better outcomes • How trust and purpose accelerate technology adoption and process improvements • What culture-building looks like in a fast-paced modular fabrication environment • How CMC is evolving its workflows as it scales its modular operations A powerful episode for anyone interested in modular construction, leadership development, or building high-performing teams through culture. MEET OUR GUEST Jonathan Scott serves as the Lead Draftsman at Creative Modular Construction, where he oversees the design and drafting behind a wide range of modular building projects. With a deep understanding of construction, engineering coordination, and practical field needs, Jonathan is the bridge between imagination and execution—translating concepts into clear, buildable plans that crews can trust. He's passionate about improving processes, solving complex layout challenges, and helping push the modular industry forward through smarter design. Outside of work, Jonathan enjoys life with his family and doing outreach in his community, and brings a grounded, faith-driven perspective to both his personal and professional life. TODD TAKES Building People Builds Performance CMC's commitment to “building people” isn't just a cultural slogan—it's a strategic advantage. When you invest in purpose, stability, and real community, people show up differently. They're engaged, they grow, and the work improves. Culture isn't an add-on for them; it's the engine behind everything they do. Trust Is the Foundation of Tech Adoption Introducing new tools like Strucsoft can be uncomfortable, but CMC's people leaned in because they trust the leadership guiding those decisions. That trust removes friction and accelerates adoption. When your team believes you're making choices that truly help them, change becomes something they embrace—not resist. When Purpose Meets Technology, Growth Takes Off The jump from producing two buildings in three days to three buildings in a single day is incredible. It's what happens when a clear mission, a supportive culture, and the right digital tools align. CMC shows that innovation isn't just about software—it's about creating a system where people and technology elevate each other. More Resources Thanks for listening!

The 49ers are entrenched in the final NFC playoff spot as they prepare to face the Cleveland Browns. However, with low temperatures, high-winds, and possible perception forecast for Sunday's matchup, holding onto that precious wild card spot might be more complicated. Having lost their previous contest in Cleveland under similar conditions in 2023, San Francisco will be tasked with executing their offense more efficiently this time while mitigating current NFL sack leader Myles Garrett. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss Brock Purdy's regression last week against the Panthers and how he and the 49ers' offense can minimize mistakes against familiar obstacles in inclement weather and a formidable pass-rush. Also, Matt and Jennifer provide injury updates, surprising takes on a San Francisco offensive line playing well under-the-radar and where the 49ers might look in the draft. They also praise the evolution of Christian McCaffrey's game during an incredible individual season.--(4:00) Purdy's attributes as a starter -- anticipation, decisiveness, accuracy - were absent on three INTs(9:00) This is the first time Purdy has dealt with significant in-season time off, and he's adjusting(11:00) Will precipitation ahead of the game in Cleveland play a role in the outcome?(18:00) 49ers Injury Updates (Bethune, Okuayinonu, Piñeiro out)(22:00) Myles Garrett will be a handful for Trent Williams and offensive line(24:00) Matt believes the 49ers' OL starters this year might not change next year given their performance(32:00) CMC leads the league in rushing attempts and receptions, and is San Francisco's MVP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
