Aleph Farms Ltd. has cultivated a ribeye steak using three-dimensional “bio-printing” and real cow cells -- an achievement that’s prompting the Israeli startup to eye other meat.
Working with the faculty of biomedical engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Aleph Farms made the “world’s first slaughter-free ribeye steak,” the company said Tuesday in a statement. The firm’s technology prints living cells that are incubated to grow, differentiate and interact to acquire the texture and qualities of a real steak.
