AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Current methods for producing cultured meat are costly and time-consuming due to the use of animal-derived serum, which is unethical and environmentally unfriendly, and serum-free media have limited applicability and high costs.
Method used
A culture medium composition containing apigenin as an active ingredient to promote muscle cell differentiation, which enhances the differentiation process and reduces the need for serum.
Benefits of technology
Apigenin effectively promotes muscle cell differentiation by increasing creatine kinase activity, reducing reactive oxygen species, and regulating muscle-specific marker expression, thereby improving the efficiency and reducing costs in cultured meat production.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a medium composition for promoting muscle cell differentiation, the medium composition comprising apigenin as an active ingredient. It was confirmed that apigenin promotes the differentiation of muscle cells through regulation of the expression of muscle-specific markers and the promotion of creatine kinase activity, and thus the medium composition can be effectively used as a composition for promoting muscle cell differentiation or producing cultured meat.
