The cotton candy technic... not the first time I heard about. Once I saw a scientist saying they needed a technic to create capillaries for blood, to mallow print organs in 3D printers, since the printers could not print capillaries.

But it's nt that simple, but a lot complex. Capillaries are connect, arterial and venous blood have a delicate net :



if they want just to create a texture to deposite the muscle cells (lab meat), it may work. But if they want to create a lab meat piece that will grow as a organ grow, they will not have a result in short tewrm, but would take years or decades. It's important to start such research, since it would allow money from bith field, food industry and medicine, since if they manage to grow meat this way, they will be close to grow a limb.

BUT... the text said it uses pig derived gelatin, so it still use animals, not vegan, and probably the need of gelatin in relation the the lab meat creation it's bad, like needing more pis to produce such gelatin than the lab meat production of meat.
