Biotech start-up TurtleTree inks deal to scale up production of its milk ingredients

SINGAPORE - A local firm's quest to bring cell-based milk to consumers is now a step closer, with a new partnership inked to scale up the manufacturing of its milk ingredients.

To create cell-based milk, mammary cells taken from animals or humans are immersed in a lactation solution. In such an environment that mimics the body of mammals, the cells convert the lactation solution into milk.
