Australian startup creates mammoth-sized meatball from lab-grown DNA.
Vow, a startup that specializes in lab-grown meat, unveiled a meatball made from mammoth meat at a science museum in the Netherlands. The meatball was created using genetic information from the extinct mammoth and a sheep cell. Vow is not vouching for the safety of mammoth meat, but chose it to get people talking about the possibilities of lab-grown meat. Lab-grown meat is seen as a potential solution to cut back on methane emissions and combat climate change. More than 75 companies around the world are working on developing lab-grown meat products.
