The present disclosure discloses a preparation method and use of a crosslinked hydrogel for muscle stem cell culture, and belongs to the technical field of biological food materials. Chitosan, alginate, dextran and Ca.sup.2+ are crosslinked through physical crosslinking to form a double-network hydrogel with a high mechanical strength, the hydrogel is coated with heparin and collagen through dip coating, such that the hydrogel can immobilize growth factors and adhere to cells. Meanwhile, extracted primary muscle stem cells are inoculated onto the hydrogel and cultured in a growth medium (79% of DMEM, 10% of FBS and 1% of double antibodies) for 24 h. The cells are cultured in an incubator with a differential medium (97% of DMEM, 2% of horse serum and 1% of double antibodies) for 7 d. The hydrogel can enhance the absorption to nutrient substances by the muscle stem cells and facilitate growth of the muscle stem cells. The double-network hydrogel has the potential to be a scaffold for growth of muscle stem cells for cultured meat from stem cells.

Disclosed is a device for the culture of cells, which device is able to support and/or maintain the cells within an environment which mimics one or more in vivo environmental condition(s). Using these devices, cells can be cultured or maintained under conditions which ensure that the cells behave and respond substantially as they would in vivo. Further, the cells can be stimulated or exposed to exogenous agents (drugs and the like) and any response determined to be one which is indicative of an in vivo response.
