Pluri receives patent approval for 3D bioreactor technology

Pluri announced an important expansion to its intellectual property portfolio with a new patent approval, that is designed to reshape the agricultural technology landscape. The patent titled “A System for 3D Cultivation of Plant Cells and Methods of Use” represents a major breakthrough in Pluri’s proprietary 3D bioreactor technology, enabling efficient cultivation of plant cells across various applications, from sustainable agriculture to critical healthcare solutions. An immediate application for the patent is PluriAgtech’s sustainable cell-based coffee. The 3D cell expansion technology can produce high-quality coffee with 98% less water and 95% less growing area. Pluri’s patent and 3D cell expansion technology can also potentially address an emerging gap in agricultural healthcare, as approximately one-fifth of the 50,000 medical plants used today are on a list of threatened species.
