Cultured meat

Cultured meat, also called cultivated meat,^[1] is meat grown in cell culture instead of inside animals.^[2] It is a form of cellular agriculture. Cultured meat is produced using many of the same tissue engineering techniques used in regenerative medicine.^[3] Until now, the cost to produce cultured meat has been extremely high.^[4] The first cultured burger patty, created by Dr. Mark Post at Maastricht University, was eaten in August 2013, at a demonstration for the press in London.^[5]
