New lab system uses grass blades to turn cells into cultured meat
An affordable lab system that uses grass blades to turn cells into cultured meat has been developed at the University of Bath in the UK.
Researchers have successfully taken grass from the university s campus and used it to create a scaffold that animal cells can attach to and grow on. The resulting tissue has the potential to be used both as lab-made meat and as human muscle tissue to repair or replace tissue which has been damaged or lost through injury or disease.
The study, by Dr Paul De Bank (Department of Pharmacy & Pharmacology), Professor Marianne Ellis (Department of Chemical Engineering) and Scott Allan (a PhD researcher in the Department of Chemical Engineering), is published in this month s
