The cultivation of thick muscle fibres from bovine cells in the lab has long been a challenge for scientists. Researchers from ETH Zurich have now successfully tackled this issue – with the goal of one day producing edible meat.
They’ve been using cow muscle cells, but just as unassociated cells. Now they’re trying to get the muscle cells to form into actual muscle. It’s the difference between ground beef vs. steak
This still seems far from a steak, what they’ve made seems more akin to coarser ground meat whereas the single cell stuff they make in bioreactors is more of a paste that theyll add some sort of filler to to give it structure. Still an upgrade but it remains to be seen whether it will scale.
haha wtf were they using instead?!?!
Fetuses, of course.

My butt cells, but the fat content was too high
