“…Cultured meat production may provide an attractive option to produce fresh food for long‐term space exploration or situations such as polar settlements when food production is a more economical option than transportation. Bioregenerative life support systems, using living organisms, such as algae, bacteria, higher plants, or animals as the “reactors” to provide life support functions (Schwartzkopf, ), are considered as a more attractive option for permanent bases and space missions for longer periods (Drysdale, Ewert, & Hanford, ).…”

Defined as meat cultured in a laboratory within a bioreactor under controlled artificial conditions, in vitro meat is a relatively recent area that has opened a whole universe of possibilities and opportunities for the meat sector. With improved chemical and microbial safety and varied options, in vitro meat has been proposed as a green, healthy, environmentally friendly, and nutritionally better product that is free from animal suffering and death. Cell culture and tissue culture are the most probable technologies for the development of this futuristic muscle product. However, there are many challenges in the production of a suitable product at an industrial scale under a sustainable production system and a great body of research is required to fill the gaps in our knowledge. Many materials used in the product development are novel and untested within the food industry and demand urgent regulatory and safety assessment systems capable of managing any risks associated with the development of cultured meat. The future of this product will depend on the actions of governments and regulatory agencies. This article highlights emerging biotechnological options for the development of cultured meat and suggests ways to integrate these emerging technologies into meat research. It considers the problems and possibilities of developing cultured meat, opportunities, ethical issues as well as emerging safety and regulatory issues in this area.

“…Fundamentalmente se trata de alimentos básicos que cubren nutritivamente las necesidades medias de los astronautas en el espacio. Dentro de los alimentos espaciales se debe diferenciar entre los pre-envasados y los alimentos frescos producidos en el espacio mediante los sistemas de biorregeneración de alimentos [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . Los primeros son producidos, procesados y envasados en nuestro planeta y se proporcionan a los astronautas listos para consumir o prácticamente listos.…”

Los alimentos espaciales han tenido una gran importancia en el desarrollo de las misiones espaciales tripuladas ya que constituyen la única fuente de energía y nutrientes para el ser humano fuera del planeta Tierra. Dichos alimentos han experimentado una gran evolución desde el inicio del Programa Mercury hasta las actuales misiones a la International Space Station (ISS). En un primer momento eran diseñados para ofrecer una gran densidad energética y nutritiva y actualmente se da prioridad a las características organolépticas y psicológicas, ya que contribuyen a un mayor consumo y un mejor estado nutricional de los astronautas. El objetivo del presente estudio es hacer un análisis retrospectivo de las publicaciones hasta la fecha sobre alimentos espaciales para ver si los disponibles actualmente son apropiados para mantener un buen estado nutricional de los astronautas en el marco de una misión espacial tripulada al espacio profundo. Para la búsqueda de estos artículos se ha utilizado la base de datos de PubMed y de la web del Jet Propulsion Laboratory de la National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), de los artículos publicados hasta el año 2012.

Advances in molecular technologies have ushered in a new age of understanding across all disciplines of biology. Research in plant biology has capitalised on these novel capabilities, unlocking new understanding of how plants respond to a myriad of conditions. Plant growth in spaceflight environments represents a decades‐long endeavour, but the past 20 years have produced a wealth of data aimed toward understanding gravitational biology and informing the optimisation of plant growth for long‐duration spaceflight missions. The spaceflight environment subjects plants to low gravity and ionising radiation, which have a variety of downstream impacts on plant growth and well‐being. Omics technologies have revealed a perplexing web of stress responses to spaceflight, and optimally growing plants in these environments requires characterising the mechanistic origins of those responses. Here, we review the plant omics data gathered to date from spaceflight experiments and highlight trends and future directions as we move forward into a new age of discovery.
