A Leaf Made of... Meat??

We made a meat-leaf. What more really needs to be said? Well it's also a demonstration of the cutting edge of regenerative medicine, and bioengineering. And maybe the first stop on the road to meat-robots.

    When the man made horrors are within comprehension! 😊👍

    I work in a lab. My work is mostly computational but I've done plenty of cell culture work as well. The fact that youre able to afford this is very impressive.
  • You're unnervingly close to making the mythology of homunculus a reality, which is in turn a great first step to making mad science Pokemon. Keep going, I wanna see meat monsters because I have problems and meat monsters are the solution.
  • @ender_slayer3
    I still want you to take a meat base, decellularize it, and give it plant based cells. I want to see a plant monster.
  • @kaiyadiestler9907
    I love how science goes from things like "how does the universe move" to "we're growing a meat leaf"
  • I loved the concept of 100% meat based spinach salad selling right in front a 100% plant based meat shop 😂😂😂😂😂
  • The fact that the end goal of this series is "create a novel organism like Frankenstein without the lightning" is simultaneously concerning and amazing.
  • @mikip282
    meat leaf, meat based robot, and vegetable fish are word combinations i never thought i would hear
  • @WillieBoi97
    “Hey how’s the experiment going?” “my leaf exploded.”
  • @rohinshyam3659
    So we noticed something very similar when we 3D printed scaffolds from plant based materials and seeded them with fibroblasts....is that the cells were most aligned and viable around the edges and ridges. One of the reasons this could be is that ECM mechanical properties play a crucial role in determining cell orientation and so mechanical properties on the ridges are highest hence fibroblasts will more likely align and grow there most. Interesting work in this video...Our lab works on tissue engineering using 3D printing and I am open to connect

    I love how this guy actually takes the time to explain everything hes doing so that people who dont know the technical jargon can actually follow along
  • @TheCcruiz
    As a former biomedical engineer who studied tissue engineering and biomaterials, I really like how you simplified the communication surrounding what each of the compounds you were using were for. HBSS, DMEM, FBS... It's amazing what academics take for granted with knowledge of what they think are "basic" things that are quite literally so fundamentally important.

    10 years ago: "Evil Chinese scientists are making chimeras in secret labs!" Now: Let's put rat-cells in leaves on youtube!
  • @the7569
    Finally, we've had vegetarian versions of meat dishes for years now. It's about time we got a meat version of a vegetarian thing lol
  • This guy is single handedly causing me to want to do biology and chemistry, I think that this kind of learning is what's missing from my high-school experience tbh
  • @marsfeathers
    Surprise sonny's edge mention got me remembering how much i loooove that short!!!
  • @999plays
    Meat robots?i like the sound of that
