LAB-GROWN CHICKEN ‘NUGGETS' HAILED AS ‘TRANSFORMATIVE STEP' FOR CULTURED MEAT

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Scientists have grown nugget-sized chunks of chicken in a device that mimics the blood vessels that make up the circulatory system. The approach uses fine hollow fibers to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells suspended in a gel. It paves the way for whole cuts of chicken, beef, pork, and fish to be grown in the lab. The same technology has the potential to produce functional organs.
