3D Bio-Tissues

Newcastle cultivated pork steak producer.

3D Bio-Tissues is a biotech startup spun out from Newcastle University in 2019 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BSF Enterprise PLC (LON: BSFA). The company applies bio-inspired manufacturing processes to engineer complex tissue structures, focusing on applications in clinical use and cultivated meat production.

The company's core technology is tissue templating, a cell-based engineering platform developed over 20 years of research. The approach is designed to create structured, functional, and scalable tissues through a bottom-up methodology. According to its website, tissue templating produces highly organised structures at nano- and macro-scale, with appropriate hierarchical extracellular matrix arrangement. Production is suited to centralised manufacturing capable of producing hundreds of tissue-engineered products daily without the use of animal components.

3D Bio-Tissues develops products across several tissue types including human cornea, cultivated meat scaffolds, skin, and leather. The company has published research in peer-reviewed journals including Nature Communications and Advanced Functional Materials. Its parent company BSF Enterprise positions the venture within a broader biotech investment strategy focused on sustainable solutions across tissue engineering and other sectors.
