Edinburgh Scientists Develop Cultivated Meat for Space

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have created a pig fat cell line, named FaTTy, that enables scalable cultivated meat production. This innovation could address key challenges in the industry, particularly for applications in space, where consistent food sources are essential for astronauts. The technology promises to enhance flavor and sustainability in cultivated meat, attracting interest from various companies for commercial partnerships.
