Abstract (original English)

Scaffolds play a key role in cultured meat production by providing an optimal environment for efficient cell attachment, growth, and development. This study investigated the effects of gelatin coating on the adhesion, proliferation, and adipogenic differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) cultured on soy protein-agarose scaffolds. Gelatin-coated scaffolds were prepared using 0.5% and 1.0% ( w / v ) gelatin solutions. The microstructure, water absorption rate, mechanical strength, cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation capabilities of the scaffolds were analyzed. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed the porous microstructure of the scaffolds, which was suitable for cell growth. Gelatin-coated scaffolds exhibited a significantly higher water absorption rate than that of non-coated scaffolds, indicating increased hydrophilicity. In addition, gelatin coating increased the mechanical strength of the scaffolds. Gelatin coating did not show cytotoxicity but significantly enhanced cell adhesion and proliferation. The gene expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, CCAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha, and fatty acid-binding protein 4 were upregulated, and lipid accumulation was increased by gelatin coating. These findings suggest that gelatin-coated scaffolds provide a supportive microenvironment for
