The heart is one of the most important organs in our body, and given the increasingly disappointing statistics on the growth of cardiovascular diseases, the development of new treatments is extremely important
The San Francisco-based company offers to make meat from water, air and minerals.A young startup called Air Protein, based in San Francisco, announced the creation of the first ever "air-based" artificial meat. The company took inspiration from NASA's 1960s idea of using carbon dioxide emitted by astronauts to convert microorganisms into food, writes the New York Post. The
For several years now, scientists around the world have been developing in the field of creating artificial meat. Moreover, the creation of such a product is extremely important for many reasons. And this is not at all a matter of pressure from convinced vegetarians
