Yes, people are working on the process now, including techniques to
"exercise" the cultured meat to alter the texture. I think it will be
on the market within a decade, no longer. We'll see.

The 'problem' is making complex structures and shapes.
Growing skin cells for grafting isn't that hard. Getting it to look
and act enough like skin to use as a graft, is.
No one know hows to duplicate the "patterns" of differentiation. No
one knows why 'this' cell grows 'here' vs some other cell.
So, we can make a very expensive steak in a steak shaped box, but
can't make a well marbled steak that any steak eater would want to > eat.

Subject: Re: CS>Cultured meat?
I think that's were you take a muscle cell and grow it into a chop
in a
"test tube".
No animal, no fat and no bones?
..sounds a lot more pricey than having a 4 legged lawn mower or
garbage
disposal around..
It would be nice to have giant cultured grass hopper legs on a
bicycle.
Fill the tank with grass and go!
If I had pigs, I'd use them to till, weed and fertilize the garden all
winter, move them over to next summers garden or an overgrown area and
plant.
Might even be able to grow enough to feed them some.
