Cool. This reminds me of people pulling the cells out of leaves and replacing them with stuff like human heart cells [1].

Wow, that technique should have their own thread here.


This is also very cool. I had heard of efforts using things like decellularised mouse hearts but with plant structures it bypasses the need for a living animal to die before a scaffold can be created. The video shot where you see the blood suffuse the structure is particularly impressive.


I wonder how these would taste in a salad.


It makes for a very hearty salad.
