China's first artificial cultured meat was born, and Zhou Guanghong's team used pig muscle stem cells to grow them for 20 days weighing up to 5 grams.

On the morning of November 18, China's first artificial cultured meat was born at the National Meat Quality and Safety Control Engineering Research Center at Nanjing Agricultural University.
this is the first artificial meat grown by the expansion of animal stem cells in China.
China's first artificial cultured meat.
artificial cultured meat is not plant meat, according to the Nanjing Agricultural University announcement, "China's first artificial culture dating meat" is led by the university professor Zhou Guanghong team, using the sixth generation of pig muscle stem cells cultured for 20 days, the production of up to 5 grams of cultured meat, a milestone in this field.
