Brazilian scientists have successfully produced lab-grown chicken using animal cells and plant-based scaffolds, requiring no animal slaughter. The breakthrough could transform food production while protecting forests and reducing greenhouse gases.
South African scientists just made cultivated meat cheaper to produce, bringing the country closer to sustainable food innovation. The breakthrough could help local companies create alternative proteins without expensive imports.
Singapore's cultivated meat industry is set to nearly triple over the next decade, growing at nearly 16% annually as demand for sustainable protein alternatives reaches new heights. The city-state is cementing its position as a global leader in food innovation.
Germany is launching a national innovation center for cultivated meat and fermented proteins next year, backed by a new biotechnology roadmap aimed at making sustainable food affordable. The move positions Europe's leading plant-based market to become a global leader in alternative proteins.
A Belgian food giant and California startup are partnering to create the first commercially available lab-grown chocolate within two years. The innovation could transform a $123 billion industry while offering a more sustainable path forward.
Scientists at Columbia University have successfully grown a living human knee in a lab using 3D printing and human cells. The breakthrough offers hope for 32 million Americans suffering from osteoarthritis, potentially eliminating the need for painful joint replacement surgery.
Scientists at UCLA built miniature 3D brain models that reveal why the deadliest brain cancer resists treatment, opening doors to personalized therapies. These lab-grown organoids mimic real human brains, showing for the first time how tumors communicate with healthy cells to become more aggressive.
Brazilian scientists are creating lab-grown donkey collagen to meet Chinese demand for traditional medicine while protecting donkeys from being wiped out. The breakthrough offers a purer, contamination-free alternative to ejiao, a sought-after anti-aging tonic.
Scientists at Northwestern University created the most advanced lab-grown human spinal cord organoids to test a breakthrough paralysis treatment, and the results mirror their successful animal studies. The therapy, called "dancing molecules," significantly reduced scar tissue and regrew nerve connections in injured human tissue.
Jeff Bezos just bet $34 million that the clothes of tomorrow won't be cotton or polyester but fibers grown in labs. The investment could transform fashion from one of the planet's biggest polluters into an industry that works with nature instead of against it.
Scientists at Northwestern University created the most advanced lab-grown human spinal cord model yet, and it's already showing promising results for a breakthrough therapy that could help paralyzed patients walk again. The "dancing molecules" treatment reduced scarring and sparked nerve growth in injured tissue.
A Utah biotech company has successfully grown mature sperm from stem cells in the lab and used them to create healthy-looking embryos. This could help millions of men struggling with infertility conceive biological children.
Scientists are using tiny lab-grown brain models called organoids to solve mysteries about how our incredible brains develop. These breakthrough tools could lead to new treatments for autism, schizophrenia, and other brain conditions.
