By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-According to news reporting originatin g from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inve ntors HATHWAIK, Leyla (South San Francisco, CA, US); LANQUAR, Viviane (San Carlo s, CA, US); WANG, Yaxin (South San Francisco, CA, US), filed on November 27, 202 3, was made available online on May 30, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "The global population is estimated to reach 9.1-9.7 billion b y 2050, with an approximately 1.8-fold increase in income per capita. Food consu mption is predicted to become increasingly based on animal derived products-main ly due to increased wealth in developing countries. Thus, population growth and increased demand for high-protein diets will require dramatic changes in the foo d industry. "Proteins used as ingredients in the food industry have traditionally been based on isolates from natural sources, such bovine milk. However, it is rapidly beco ming unsustainable to produce animal-derived food products, given their environm ental impact and limited resources for production thereof. Recombinant protein p roduction could provide an alternative source of protein for use in food applica tions. However, in order to make the use of recombinant proteins in food economi cally feasible, high levels of protein expression must be achieved in one or mor e host cells. Achieving such high expression levels poses numerous technical cha llenges.
