Tastes Like the Real Thing: Breakthrough Bioreactor Grows Realistic Chicken Meat

A new bioreactor system uses hollow fibers to deliver nutrients to lab-grown tissue, enabling scalable cultured chicken meat production with realistic texture. A new bioreactor that replicates the function of a circulatory system has enabled the production of more than 10 grams of chicken muscle tissue, advancing the development of cultured meat. By delivering oxygen [...]

Scientists create the world's largest lab-grown chicken nugget, complete with artificial veins

Scientists have grown a nugget-sized piece of chicken using a new method that can deliver nutrients and oxygen to artificial tissues, marking a major breakthrough in cultured meat.

Lab-grown chicken nuggets could soon be on shelves after major breakthrough

LAB-grown chicken nuggets may soon be dished up after a scientific breakthrough. Researchers made a 10g piece of poultry from a handful of chicken cells with state-of-the-art tech. Realistic meat is hard to grow without blood vessels, so they were replicated using artificial fibres. A bioreactor machine then pumped nutrients and oxygen around the cells. The result was slightly smaller than a 15-20g standard chicken nugget, but apparently with a …

Lab-grown chicken could be made chewier using artificial capillaries

Scientists have used an artificial circulatory system to create lab-grown chicken, which may improve its texture

Fake Blood Vessels Mean Lab-Grown Chicken Can Now Be Nugget Sized

Researchers are closer to growing chicken nuggets in the lab, thanks to the use of tiny hollow fibers that mimic blood vessels.

A group of researchers managed to grow in laboratory the largest piece of meat to date, with a size and shape comparable to a chicken nugget. This advance was made possible thanks to an “artificial circulatory system”, which provides nutrients and oxygen to the growing tissue. Could it be an advance towards the future of food? The finding, published in Trends in Biotechnology, describes a piece of cultivated chicken that is seven centimeters lon…
