Sounds an awful lot like someone out of blue would say.
well at least that makes more sense then the racism we have today!

@@quaxicron no no, they have a point
That's why I don't drink it.
One important thing to keep in mind, these cell lines were started and maintained in DMEM with FBS. This means that cells that preferred DMEM and FBS thrived, while those that didn't died off. With rapidly multiplying cells, it would likely be quite feasible to gradually wean the cells entirely off of DMEM and FBS and onto a substitute. This may be much easier than trying to generate cocktails of growth factors.
Another key point is that the cells themselves often make the hormones they want. This is why many cell lines prefer partial media changes rather than complete media changes. This way, the cells always get exposed to most of the hormones they've generated.
Huh... I don't what you're saying but I kinda wish I understood more of what you are talking about now
@@codiserville593 I think they're saying that we could get the cells to evolve so they could survive in pure gatorade
They should definitely try and see if there’s a way to fully transition a cell line to a cheaper medium.
@@jacobwiens659 For sure. The cost involved in obtaining the growth media are one of the biggest obstacles to bringing down the cost of production. (The cost of electricity is another, but we already have a lot of information on how to solve that)
@@goo894 well alright thanks for this possible translation. It's helpful
As a cell biologist, I'm fascinated. It seems it’s time to seriously diversify the contents of the refrigerator in our laboratory.
You can bring red gatoraid to work, dilute and have some left over for your own mad scientist creations!
Also...Our budgets are not unlimited((((
no sir tax-man these energy drinks are 100% for Science!
Monster Energy meat next
@@calamatica To be fair, it's not the labs that think the budgets are unlimited, it's the purveyors of the materials used. :-(
This is giving "how much sawdust can you put in a rice crispy treat before people notice?" And I love that.
Yeah, it’s just “how much green dekara and coconut water can you put in a Petri dish before cells notice?”
although this is the opposite of the sawdust in a way, because adding more Green dakara makes it more tasty
A very bad analogy. This has nothing to do with thinning out a product, it's a new way of producing meat without killing animals.
@@skunkjobb I wasn't making an analogy I was making a goofy comparision
@@skunkjobb It's _LITERALLY_ thinning out a product. Did you not catch that they are using the Gatorade and other drinks as partial replacement for the cell media? Or all that various other stuff as partial or complete replacement for the serum?
It's crazy to think that common grocery store items could potentially replace some of the most expensive elements in the lab. Very eager to see where this leads to, and how it could potentially revolutionize lab grown meat.
Not entirely. There's almost always going to be minor or major compromises. You might be able to filter or separate out some of the undesirable elements, but every bit of that effort eats into the cost/time savings of using the retail alternative in the first place. But if something along that cheaper price point spectrum works "good enough" with 99.8% or whatever effective substitution, then yeah.
For example, Thought Emporium mentioned two differences: the sports drinks significantly dropped pH balance out of the optimal cell survival range, and some trace elements in DMEM are situationally important for stuff like growing bones. I'm no cell biologist, but I'd imagine there are more nuances like these that they didn't mention.
Another big one is quality control and precision to prevent variation. Two units of the same sports drink from different bottling plants or batches in the same plant could have a huge 0.2% variation in concentration of some elements. Not enough for a consumer to taste more or less salty, but could be enough to throw a precise lab process out of whack. A lot of the extra $100s of cost is for processes that ensure these error margins are orders of magnitude smaller.
So the discount sports drink doping might be good enough for growing boneless McRibs or chicken nugget paste, but not for pseudo pork chops or beef ribeyes that need more realism. Good budget tier alternative for producing off-brand or generic synthetic meat, while the top quality synthetic meat will cost 2X more just to add the necessary 0.2% trace elements or whatever. Just like current consumer product price tiers.
Or the discount stuff could work great for pumping out lower cost protein feedstock to feed to actual animal livestock that's raised for real meat. Not as environmentally or cost optimal as directly growing a high quality vat steak, but maybe it would be an interim technology that cuts cost inputs and greenhouse gas emissions by 10% or something, per pound of real beef produced. That's basically what industrial agriculture has been doing at a lower tech level for the past century -- grinding up undesired wild caught fish bycatch and waste parts from farmed fish to make fish meal, which they then mix into feedstock for more farmed fish or other livestock. Same for waste parts from butchered cows, pigs, chickens, etc that are fed back into the system to feed new animals. (and yes, this has been a source of increased system vulnerability to contamination, disease, and things like growth hormones recirculating back into the system as it approaches both higher efficiency and a slightly more closed loop of production)
Lab grown meat ..?
Dont you mean DIY grown meat ? 😁😆
The reasoning is because those expensive mediums are specifically tested and the ratio of contents confirmed to not have anything additional in there to not throw off experiments.
It’s the same reason anything “aircraft grade” is expensive. It’s also the same reason NIST sells peanut butter for like $400.
You’re not paying for the item but for the paper trail to validate your results.
This is especially important in healthcare research in the case of any kind of side effects or other issues later on.
Stuff like this is definitely great to know, especially if you’re just doing some preliminary research into a topic, but if you’re publishing a paper then you should be using standardised ingredients/processes.
you can't make me eat it
Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened. A while back a lab tested using the old Shrinky Dinks toy to create patterns for use in microfluidics. It worked.

I'm happy that you looked into this as most organisms aren't too picky about what they ingest to survive and most of what we consume is either organic or derived from something that is.
Like you said in the video: the biotech supply industry intentionally runs up the prices of otherwise inexpensive compounds simply because they know they can due to the grant money flowing into universities and other institutions.
Without people working to innovate outside the current system: very little progress will ever be made on things that major corporations aren't interested in. Just the same as how the home computer hobbyists brought about the innovations needed for a truly digital age: biotech enthusiasts will need to learn how to progress outside of the (mostly closed-off) mainstream in order to make real progress in things.
I used to work in pharma, and we said that companies slap an extra 0 on the price tag for the industry. A sterile pack of 15 IPA wipes cost $50.
Yup, very often in the economy the most profitable solutions aren't the most innovative ones but rather the most stagnant ones. No need to waste money developing a new solution (in multiple meanings of the word) if you can just keep forcing people to buy the current one.
Why are academically interesting videos being demonetised whilst Scamverts are STILL being pumped into my home by RUclips?
Because RUclips makes more money off of them, so of course they allow it.They are both scammers after all.

Idiots click on adds and generate revenue. RUclips has no interesst in actual humans. That's why channels aimed at children make 100x more money then channels aimed at adults.

About 25 years ago when I was a student, I was chatting to a biochemist about food and they mentioned that they'd never eat a custard-filled doughnut, because egg custard is a great growth medium and she'd seen how well it works for bacterial cultures.
Using Gatorade of all things to grow meat, just amazing. It just feels like an april fools joke or onion article "Mad scientist makes breakthrough cost reduction in artificial meat production, Sponsored by Gatorade".

"After several hours, Joe finally gave up on logic and reason and simply told the cabinet that he could talk to cells and that they wanted Brawndo"
Great video, but I also wanted to add some information about university research, for anyone interested
1. When getting grants Universities first take a portion for the use of facilities, this can go up to 50% but I believe 20-30% is standard
2. Assuming your lab isn't big enough for some major lab equipment like an NMR the university often has a communal one...that you must pay to use
3. The lab also needs to pay for graduate student tuition and wages
4. Now that the majority of the money has probably disappeared you now have to deal with whatever miscellaneous costs appear, maintenance of equipment, purchasing chemicals, traveling to scientific conventions
Academia is basically a black hole that devours money
Such a shame. But it is the world we live in, and money seems to be the best tool we could've come up with. It's both one of my favorite and most hated inventions, haha.
Yeah it can be a pain, my advisor basically doesn't have free time with the constant grant applications he has to file, granted it is a fairly large lab
@@ritishifyThis is not an issue of money itself, but of equitable relations. Universities consistently choose to exploit their facility, staff, and students because they can and are incentivized to do so.
Guys are really about to put out an open-source generic brand DMEM.
I'm interested now how Aquarius, another Japanese Pocari Sweat competitor, would do. There's also apparently now a "new" Green Dakara, would be interesting to see if it does any different than the regular Green Dakara.
I can help answer part of why the nutritional yeast did so well: it's literally just dead cells. When we brew, we use yeast nutrient, which is honestly just mostly dead yeast. In fact, a quick and dirty way to make yeast nutrient is to just boil a packet of bread yeast for a few minutes. The dead cells contain a lot of the necessary building blocks for new cells to grow, for obvious reasons.
It's really crazy to me that any lab can just casually say they can order some DNA to get printed. Imagine telling someone that 100 years ago.
Not really open source, those brands are still proprietary. But cool af
DNA? Wassat
Pocari sweat can be found at most Asian markets both in the US and Canada, with many online retailers also shipping it from local warehouses. No real need to have it imported. Also it comes in its original powder form if you're worried about shipping weights. But all in all its effectively a Japanese clone of Gatorade made by Otsuka Pharma.
Me rn in Singapore chugging the $1.50 (usd1) bottle of PS
Also yes I wanted to mention they come in power form. I remember being in police cadet corps and our outfield ration included the powder.
We mixed it into our water bottles that were brewing in the hot sun, and chugged it - horrible but delicious.
Also had to make lunch using some cheap off-brand instant noodles, and I think some folks forgot to pour out water into the mestin for the noodles before mixing the PS powder. But anyways we opened a tin of sardines in tomato and threw that into the mestin of noodles and honestly, pretty good!
I wondered why he imported it when I can get a bottle of pocari from a local asian store in London for a few pounds. I'd be surprised if you couldn't also in Canada
@@theendoftheworldhasbeenqui2485 honestly it was probably just because its the best way to make sure you get the exact same product. yes its almost guaranteed to be the same locally but it might not be. Also i wonder if the powder might not be better because you could adjust the concentration if need be
@@ztheo2280 In hindsight (yay, I can see clearly now!) the powder form probably would have been better. Still... next cycle?
The missing ingredients are obviously Sugar, Spice, And Everything Nice, and *_CHEMICAL X_*
I'm pretty sure sugar is already included.
And then the perfect little girl was born
@@darthplagueis13I can’t imagine being satisfied with the sweetness of a Gatorade, tbf. they’d be majority spice and chemicals which is something but isn’t the ratio to be power puff girly enough (according to my own conjecture let’s be real for a sec lmfao-)

A few friends in my department (USU Biological Engineering) are working on creating an FBS substitute using subcritical water hydrolysis. They take algae and put it under high pressure and temperature to break down the algae into metabolites cells can use. The goal was to produce a vegan media that Upside Foods could use for cultured chicken. Pretty neat!
That's amazing
Hopefully it can be used for all sorts of cell culturing applications beyond the private sector... And that the recipe and protocol is open source
so a pressure cook it to a paste then feed it to vegans, sounds like the pink sludge in fallout
@@Blimsky I am a vegan, and I approve of this message.
This work is so important to understanding how cells work. I’m so glad your videos are so easy to watch so people can get interested into science
thank you for your passionate projects that you bless youtube with. this stuff makes me want to go into molecular biology
I'm a little confused - wouldn't the most important test here be a control with sterile water diluting the DMEM? To see if the alternatives are either really helping (like DMEM) or just not hurting anything while enough DMEM is available. Sorry if it's a dumb question.
Nah that's a good point. If DMEM can be diluted with distilled water and still work well, that's an instant drop in costs cuz every lab has access to distilled water.
Heck, AC units make it as a side effect of cooling the air
Actually I think your entirely right! I hope he responds to this comment
Could be, but the 100% version with replaced fbs does remediate the results somewhat,
Although yeah the data is better with dmem 0-100% with reverse osmosis distilled water dilution, it's not that complicated to do too,
However the research from japan in video is probably more complete,
If my bio knowledge hasn't failed me, I think that's a negative control: a group that doesn't receive treatment and isn't expected to produce a result.
@@jetison333you're*
If this channel has taught me anything it's that biochemists absolutely fkn love E.coli and use it a lot more than the average Joe not in the know would ever expect
That's because they reproduce every 30 minutes, they are crazy efficient.
Yep from what I've seen is since they reproduce so fast, they can quickly see any effects, changes & then go from there.. But I'm no certified scientist
there are a plethora of different strains, some of which naturally live in the human digestive system. Only a handful are harmful to people.
@@am529 I know I'm more so just commenting on how E.coli is used far more in biochemistry than anyone not in the know would ever expect.
I for one didn't know until I stumbled on this channel just how much it's used in this field of work.

God I love how much detail they go into 😭😭😭 take my money just don't stop making this amazing insane content
Well done mate, love the videos. Always a good day to find a new one from you.
For processing the eggs, take a look at what was used for “albumen print” photographic processes. The literature is not the easiest to find, it’s mostly in century old photographic journals. The goal was to have a clean and optically clear protein gel into which silver nitrate grains would be suspended.
Prep for albumen print is basically what was done here. Take albumen, whisk till stiff, leave overnight, and filter out solids, 🤷🏾

@@feuerling How DOES normal sweat taste?
My God I can't wait to see this upcoming stuff. Lab grown meat is something I'm definitely interested in and you guys just making some casually for fun really makes me optimistic.
I was planning to put the its what plants crave reference here at the end of the video, so glad you added the clip to the video!
really would not have expected beer to do so well...
Much like your average dad over 40, cells just love beer
it's what secretly keeps humanity alive for millennia
I mean historically speaking wine, beer, and spirits are some of our oldest inventions.
It's basically yeast broth, especially since the way they used it massively dilutes the alcohol.
Brewing beer is cell culture. The main difference is that the spent media is the desired product.
The comment count is already nearing a thousand so I don't know if anyone reads this, but wouldn't it have been more beneficial to use carbon dioxide or some acid that you could later precipitate out, to separate the whey from milk?
Vinegar (mostly acetic acid) is a weak acid with small molecular sizes that can pass cell membranes, so even after neutralizing the pH, it would keep reacting inside and outside the cells and mess up things. At least that's why one should never adjust aquarium water's pH with weak acids. Doing so could easily end up killing the fishes. Only use strong acids (nitric, sulfuric, muriatic) for that, which leave chemically more inert acid residues.
Not sure if any of the aforementioned ones would be suitable for this purpose though. That's why I suggested either carbon dioxide (at least it's the easiest to obtain and apply with sodastream, not sure if there are other acid forming gasses that have high vapor pressure) that could be mostly evaporated from whey by bubbling the solution with nitrogen gas (pumping just air would remove the CO2 as well, but it might also oxidize something important), or maybe there's some suitable acid that would precipitate during the neutralizing process, like oxalic acid + calcium hydroxide.
Just the first few ideas that came to my mind.
yeah acetate ion in humans is toxic so i cant imagine having a bunch of it floating around is good for the cells
Now i want to see what happens if i soda streamed some milk xD
@@user-fz1nu9uy6q You'd get lots of foam, and coagulated proteins separating from whey. More importantly, I'm looking forward for your taste report, which is the, erm.. more interesting part 🙃
Dilute sodium acetate is extremely benign. It's used in blood transfusions and neonatal care, so it's probably close to harmless to cells.
Could use dilute HCL. Make some more salt.
This is fascinating

This is incredible work!!
8:49 I'm pretty sure the lab supplier sells them like that for consistency across experiments for being able to replicate experiments from papers. It's like how the ISO standard tea is like 500 dollars for a very bad and bland tea.
That's 100% it, they pay to remove any variation factors. Same goes for most lab stuff.
Have no clue but tend to agree. Not required for exploratory stuff like on this channel though :)
Not sure who came up with removing all variations in order to 'baseline' ; it's a monocultural bland paradigm and actually eliminates any spice which extends life and expands consciousness. We need to understand and implement the interaction between rosemary, cell growth and antibacterial properties for instance as this among others can play a vital part in organic growth overall
@@jonhinman2471 Removing variation is the only way to be sure your results are the the product of the experiment and not some outside force. I've never seen anyone argue against that. Then in the experiment you can make as many/much variations as you want.

Fellow biologist here, I think this should be someone's master's thesis or student project and it is showing promise to be a startup one point. A big however, the only reason I believe that DMEM's can't be replaced by homemade recipes in academia is not the growth issue, more about replicability of the experiments. It's already so hard to follow protocols even though you use the exact brand, the exact amount indicated in the paper. Other than this, let's break the monopoly of lab suppliers lol.
Maybe the industry should move away from proprietary formulas to standardized formulas
@@kokofan50 as the video says, more or less each DMEM contain the same ingredients however such small differences may create certain issues. The point here is the homemade recipes will complicate the issue even more and academia will probably won't like it.
Hell yeah, let's break those price gouging monopolies and cartels that make research unnecessarily expensive!!!
Also, I agree small differences in cell culture media do cause issues. But in a hypothetical situation where labs are making their own DMEM from the same recipe, I believe from my experiences in cell culture that variability that already exists due to differences between lots of FBS is way more significant than the likely differences between homemade batches of DMEM substitute. I hope that sentence made sense.
As a (former) lab technician who worked in cell culture for years, this is incredible
I never liked openned a bottle of FBS (or baby cow juice, I love this name) but I never though about changing it with Gatorade
This was a fascinating video. Although not currently studying in the field of biology, I am curious to know if a symbiotic culture like Kefir could make milk, or similar products, better growth media. Anyways, great video as always. Thank you for making such content free, it's been a very long time since I've been to a genetics lab as a student and I miss those days. Good luck with every project.

Buddy you could have found a local Asian market for that pocari sweat & green one.. But props to burning that money for science!
Not everyone has a local Asian market. I know my town sure doesn’t, and it’s the second biggest in the state I’m in. The most Asian thing I can buy here is like… lo mein noodles from an actual Asian restaurant and offbrand pockys from Trader Joe’s
Thing is, Thought Emporium is a Canadian channel, and outside of major cities it can be very difficult to find ethnic markets that sell stuff like that. Even within the shops that do, it can be difficult. I know here in Manitoba, there's a store in Winnipeg called Oomomo, it specialises in Japanese products. I have not once seen Pocari Sweat or Dakari Green there, but even if i had the stock changes with whats popular in Japan. but Japanese products in general can be hard to locate here. Most Asian markets i've seen cater more towards Chinese and Filipino products as we just have a much larger population of Chinese and Filipino immigrants than we do Japanese.

At that moment just go for pure additives. Electrolyte drinks are mostly salt, sugar and flavour, sometimes with a small amount of potassium chloride
@@brylozketrzyn Proper rehydration formulas often contain BCAAs and other amino acids as well as
@@Aqoric more complex ones for sure, but we can get aminoacids from many sources. It is about balancing nutrients and hormones.
@@brylozketrzyn Absolutely, my original point was simply for large scale production it would likely prove cheaper
I was lucky enough to work in a chemical plant as an operator, yhe company was the type you'd take a concept to, and they'd do the R, D & P... and never before in my life have I been more regretful than then... the fac I didn't study chemistry GUTS me.. or any the sciences tbh.
Literally EVERYTHING is chemistry. And it blows my damn mind.
blud is bluffing hard with that grammar, he did not work in a chemical plant yall.
@@StoneBox_761a He was just an operator making the shine, the rest of the gang was doing science on improving the taste to sell it for more.
@@LordDragox412 regardless, i dont think he worked there with that grammar, the requirements to be there are immense.
@@StoneBox_761a He used to have perfect grammar, but then he drank some heads. That's why he's regretful he didn't study chemistry in middle school. Quite a sad story.
Will you guys be writing a paper on this? It looks amazing stuff.
Glad to see you doing research on fbs replacement as well. Even if it's not completely synthetic. It could drive the cost cheaper and more ethical.
Aw sweet man made horrors within my comprehension, thanks to this awesome channel!
At least 2-3 states have, or are about to, ban the sale of cultured meat products. So what we need is a simple, affordable "kit" to grow meat at home. Something akin to gardening, mushroom cultivation, or home brewing. I feel like we're watching the development of such a kit with every new video here! I would love a simple kit/machine where all I'd need to do is subscribe to some kind of service for regular deliveries of raw materials, nutrients, etc., plop those into a machine like an inkjet cartridge, and grow cheap, infinite steaks at home.
Also, kindof shamefully curious to sample my own cells and grow some my own "long-pork-belly." Honestly, I bet I'd be delicious...
I don't think that will ever fly because it's not just the "affordable kit" that's involved in this. It's also all the equipment required and the sterilization and handling protocols required to grow meat tissue in labs.
This team is trained in that area, and even then they're prone to mistakes because that's how it goes. So letting the average Joe meddle with this sounds like a good recipe for an outburst of salmonella or something like that.
I'm not a chemist or a biologist, but with my experience in IT and programming I can attest: the hardest thing to do is making your process user-proof. Someone *will* find a way to screw things over, and in the case of foods, the responsibility falls back on the distribution company.
Wait, let me guess: The states trying to ban this are also full of right-wing, book-burning, cucumbers?
@@sparking023 Off the top of my head, I'd ask if you knew anyone who ever sued hasbro for their kid getting food poisoning from an Easy-Bake Oven cake.
Or, alternatively, sued betty crocker after using unrelated salmonella-infected eggs in a cupcake batter and let their kid lick the spoon.
It seems to me that whatever products would be made of a kit like this would fall under the same kind of legal classifications. As long as the obvious, instructed, and prescribed usage of the kit and its supplementary products is safe, user mishandling would be seen as exactly that, and not tie back to the kit distributor.
@@sparking023tbf (a small amount of) people (non-commercially) can their own food which also requires massive precaution in handling
It wouldn’t be in supermarkets but I could see a world where it becomes a culinary niche as opposed to a home lab niche
Ban the sale? Just how much did the farming lobby -bribe- _ask nicely_ for that?
Man, your opinions about animals and their lives worth is sooo unimaginably sympathetic & Empathetic
every paper should have a video like this :) nice work
I think the Vitamin water ingredient responsible for the cells not growing may have been vitamin A.
I think it's the kiwi curse. Even jello doesn't work with kiwi.
Came here to say this, I think it's likely.
Finally, I can make my own Meatcubator!
I love these videos on how to improve techniques to grow lab meat or cells at all. Imagine growing meat or organs in liquids that are made almost as easy as soft drinks. Very fascinating!
that was some really cool results. I noticed the best fbs 100% replacements were not also the best at 50%. I'd be curious to see the fbs test with 75% added for an extra data point
18:32 Try combining the top performers to test if they can complement each other somehow.
Maybe a mixture of some can have a more complete nutrient profile for the cells.
Also another idea to try: "Soylent complete meal powder". It's supposed to be a balanced mixture of most nutrients the body needs.
This was the best video ive seen all month. Cant wait for part 2!
13:15 this part reminds me of the Merengue sketch from Les Lutiers XDD
youve been one of the most interesting channels ive watched recently
bruh 13:20 was such a genius prediction from whoever edited or scripted the video!
i literally zoned out and got caught spot on, i enjoyed that !! thats a whole different layer of humor
I would have loved to see a control with water or saline used to dilute the mixtures (even though that would probably lead to death pretty fast, but it would kinda put into perspective how beneficial the gatorade ect were)
This is crazy ... Love it!
Awesome Little Shop Of Horrors plug. That movie is awesome even today.
This video makes me think about ameture orchid seed growing. The book "growing orchids from seed" (Seaton and ramsay 2005, Kew publishing) Actually lists a recipe for cell medium which involves a blended banana (p.g 75)
Orchid, organ, potato pataya
@fisrtnamelastname3083 well growing orchids from seed is akin to cell culture due to how orchids have evolved.
The seeds don't have an endosperm (they are more akin to spores than seeds) and rely on mycorrhizal fungi to provide the developing seedling with nutrients.
When growing them, you have to put them in a medium to recreate the conditions. As a result, you need to work aseptic!
@@mrslinkydragon9910 wow! That's really cool! Never thought I would learn such a fact by making an awful joke lol
@fisrtnamelastname3083 oh I didn't get the joke, I just like saying facts
18:25 "Maybe the cells wanted more uMAMI?" hahahahah😂 so great.
You are the nilered but more biology focussed. And since biology related things are objectively awesome, i love your content.
13:24 I don't know why, but I like the casual swearing in such an educational video.
