Production of artificial beef from stem cells

Scientists believe that minced beef products grown from cow stem cells in the laboratory will become a reality within 12 months. This groundbreaking study can help create meat without slaughtering animals.

Scientists at Maastricht University (Netherlands) predict that in the next few decades there will not be enough natural meat to meet the needs of the people if the world population continues to increase at the same rate. now on. The solution to this problem is to use chicken, sheep, beef, . cultured in the laboratory.

The team is currently developing artificial beef grown from 10,000 cow stem cells. The laboratory culture will help these stem cells divide into billions of cells to synthesize muscle tissue like lean beef.

The Daily Mail quoted Dr. Mark Post, the head of the study, saying: ' I realize that we cannot depend solely on natural livestock meat sources in the coming decades. At that time, artificial meat would be a force majeure choice. Currently, we are trying to prove to the world that they can create artificial meat products . '

In 2009, scientists from Maastricht University also successfully cultivated artificial pork using the same method. However, the artificial pork products they create have no taste and color like natural pork. Earlier, a team in New York (USA) also created artificial fish meat by culturing stem cells from muscle tissue of goldfish.

Scientists calculate that from 10 original stem cells can produce 50,000 tons of meat by laboratory culture within 2 months.

Meanwhile, a study by scientists from Oxford University (UK) found that the method of artificial meat production from stem cells will save 35% to 60% of energy and reduce 80 - 90% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to raising livestock for slaughter.
