Cheap artificial meat available to anyone is coming to the stores

According to a report from the University of California, Berkeley, cultured meat could cut emissions by up to 96 percent, but the main issue right now is price. The production of laboratory meat is extremely expensive, mainly due to special ingredients called growth factors. Depending on the type, one gram ranges from a few hundred dollars to even millions.

However, as a result of research carried out by modifying bovine muscle cells, a solution to the problem has now been found. Researchers at Tufts University have modified bovine muscle cells so that they can produce fibroblast growth factors themselves. In this way, they avoided the procurement of them from an external source, which can significantly reduce the costs of the production of laboratory meat.
