Japanese scientists have developed hybrid plant-animal cells that draw energy from the sun. This is a real breakthrough in the field of bioengineering – flesh capable of photosynthesis has been created.

Meat growing on trees? It’s not a dream, it’s science
The scientists’ research results were published in the journal “Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B”. According to Japanese scientists, they managed to create animal-plant tanks that, like plants, receive energy from sunlight. This achievement could revolutionize the production of lab-grown meat and organs.
Animals and plants use different ways to get energy: plants use photosynthesis, and animals use mitochondria. Scientists decided to combine these two mechanisms, by isolating chloroplasts from plants and growing them with hamster cells. The aim was to create hybrid cells that could grow into solar powered tissue.
After two days, it turned out that chlorophyll and chloroplasts were visible inside the hamster cells, and using the fluorimetric amplitude change method, it was possible to confirm that Chloroplasts actually do photosynthesis. what’s more, Solar powered tissue grew faster than normal hamster cells.
An innovative method of in vitro meat production can reduce costs and reduce the negative impact on the environment. It is also possible to produce meat efficiently without killing animals. The discovery of Japanese scientists also opens new perspectives in the field of bioengineering and regenerative medicine.
