7cm Lab-Grown Chicken: A Giant Leap in Cultured Meat
2025-04-17
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have grown a 7cm long, 4cm wide, and 2.25cm thick piece of chicken in a lab—the largest single piece of cultured meat to date. This breakthrough was achieved using a novel circulatory system that delivers nutrients and oxygen to the growing tissue. While not yet food-grade, the 11-gram nugget represents a significant step forward. The team is collaborating with companies to further develop this technology, promising a potential revolution in meat production.
