“…This fermentation approach has attracted increasing worldwide attention due to its several benefits, i.e., it uses little energy and water, produces little wastewater, and contributes to environmental remediation [ 94 ]. This technology is also used in SCP, and researchers have observed desirable SCP outputs [ 95 , 96 ]. It is common in studies employing fungal species such as Aspergillus niger , Candida sp., Trichoderma sp., and Saccharomyces cerevisiae , as these inocula tend to produce protein-rich biomass [ 97 , 98 ].…”

The rapidly increasing population and climate change pose a great threat to our current food systems. Moreover, the high usage of animal-based and plant-based protein has its drawbacks, as these nutritional sources require many hectares of land and water, are affected by seasonal variations, are costly, and contribute to environmental pollution. Single-cell proteins (SCPs) are gaining a lot of research interest due to their remarkable properties, such as their high protein content that is comparable with other protein sources; low requirements for land and water; low carbon footprint; and short production period. This review explores the use of food waste as a sustainable feedstock for the advancement of SCP processes. It discusses SCP studies that exploit food waste as a substrate, alongside the biocatalysts (bacteria, fungi, yeast, and microalgae) that are used. The operational setpoint conditions governing SCP yields and SCP fermentation routes are elucidated as well. This review also demonstrates how the biorefinery concept is implemented in the literature to improve the economic potential of “waste-to-protein” innovations, as this leads to the establishment of multiproduct value chains. A short section that discusses the South African SCP scenario is also included. The technical and economic hurdles facing second-generation SCP processes are also discussed, together with future perspectives. Therefore, SCP technologies could play a crucial role in the acceleration of a “sustainable protein market”, and in tackling the global hunger crisis.

“…The interesting integrated evolution in the year 2018 demonstrated the forcefully increasing attention in the international arena on SCA for dealing with kidney-related diseases. A few recent bibliometric studies of SCA regarding improving the field of gene expression [49], food products related to protein [50], and immune cells and their application of DNA damage repair in cancer immunotherapy [51] found a major evolution trend in annual publications around 2015-recent, suggesting that there have been rapid developments on SCA in the last decade.…”

There is increasing interest in employing Single-Cell Analysis (SCA) technologies to improve the efficiency of renal disease diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless, comprehensive studies summarizing and analyzing research trends in the field are lacking. There is increasing interest in employing Single-Cell Analysis (SCA) technologies to improve the efficiency of renal disease diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless, comprehensive studies summarizing and analyzing research trends in the field are lacking. This article discusses the use of bibliometric analysis to evaluate the progress and potential of Single-Cell Analysis (SCA) technologies in the field of kidney disease. The study identified 1,606 articles and reviews published between 1999 and 2023, involving 11,737 authors from 2,317 institutions across 67 countries or regions. The major contributors to SCA in kidney disease were highlighted, including top authors, institutes, countries, and journals. Research hotspots included molecular and pathological aspects, with disease-, molecular-, and pathological-related keywords such as expression, EGFR, gene-expression, activation, gene, cell, protein, mechanism, mutation, inflammation, resistance, apoptosis, and T-cell. Key kidney-related disease keywords included SLE, AKI, CKD, renal fibrosis, diabetic kidney disease, nephrotic syndrome, IgA nephropathy, and kidney transplantation. The authors note that the field of SCA in kidney-related disease research is rapidly growing, with the potential for further expansion. SCA technologies could provide novel diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic approaches and support routine clinical diagnosis and individualized treatment.

“…Regulatory approaches differ substantially between countries and continents [139]. The Good Food Institute (GFI) has encouraged the development of alternative food sources among research groups and companies from different countries [140]. The GFI surveyed countries that are using existing food regulations or developing new regulations to evaluate novel products such as cultured meat [141].…”

Cultured meat presents a possible alternative to conventional meat products and may be used to address growing food demands attributable to global population growth. Thus, a comprehensive technological prospection of the scientific literature related to cultured meat produced by 3D bioprinting is of great interest to researchers. The purpose of this article is to review and analyze published studies related to the biofabrication of cultured meat using 3D bioprinting techniques. The growing number of related publications in recent years highlights that cultured meat has gained traction in the scientific community. Furthermore, private companies and startups have contributed to advancements in the biofabrication of cultured meat for consumption, illustrating that cultured meat as a conventional meat substitute is already becoming reality. However, like any scientific advance, 3D bioprinting of cultured meat faces challenges involving regulation, acceptance, the selection of ideal biomaterials and cell lines, the replacement of fetal bovine serum (FBS), and attaining a texture and nutritional value similar to those of conventional meat.
