"Mammoth Meatball" Takes the Culinary World by Storm

TL;DR Summary
Australian company Vow has created a woolly mammoth meatball using a combination of mammoth and elephant DNA sequences and myoblast stem cells from sheep. The company aims to produce new kinds of lab-grown meat that replace livestock farming and highlight the link between large-scale livestock production and the destruction of wildlife and the climate crisis. However, nobody has tasted the meatball yet, and the team is cautious about how the immune system would react to it.
