ABSTRACT

In this study, we propose a methodology for deriving natural additives that expedite cultured meat production through a combination of bioinformatics and artificial intelligence-based approaches in drug development. Leveraging a bioinformatics approach, we identify differentially expressed genes that are genetically associated with muscle and adipose tissue growth in breast cancer cells. Subsequently, employing an artificial intelligence-based drug development approach, we construct a model for predicting protein and compound interactions, and conduct virtual screenings of two natural product databases (COCONUT and the Korean Traditional Medicine Database). This enables us to identify 22 candidates of natural compounds that bind to proteins responsible for inhibiting muscle and adipose tissue growth.
