New Form of Cultivated Meat Created in Canada by Anjanee Sharma on January 20, 2021 at 4:19 PM Canadian researchers use a technique adapted from a method used to grow tissue for human transplants to create cultivated meat by layering together sheets of muscles and fat cells grown in a lab setting. These living cells have the same thickness as a sheet of printer paper and are grown inside culture first, concentrated on growth plates, and are then peeled off and stacked together. These sheets bond together naturally before the cell dies. This method was devised by researchers Ravi Selvaganapathy and Alireza Shahin-Shamsabadi.
