T. rex leather infographic explaining how the lab-grown engineering differs from the current leather process. VML. In order to create it, synthetic DNA will be used to engineer cells that will ...

Interestingly, VML was also behind the Mammoth Meatball project, a bold endeavor that used lab-grown meat derived from reconstructed wooly mammoth DNA in 2023. “With T-Rex leather we’re ...

Another biotech company, the U.K.-based Lab-Grown Leather Ltd., will then use those specialized cells to produce skin, made with the T-Rex collagen protein, which is then tanned to form T-Rex leather.

The Jurassic Park franchise (which returns to theaters this summer with Jurassic World Rebirth) spends a lot of time focused on dinosaurs, the creation of dinosaurs, the housing and exhibition of ...

Whether or not the researchers take this approach, they plan to insert the collagen-building DNA into cells, which will—supposedly—turn into T. rex skin, according to the Lab-Grown Leather ...

As it currently stands, the oldest known DNA ever sequenced comes from a 1.6-million-year-old mammoth and the T. rex went extinct roughly 66 million years ago. Instead, the group plans to work ...

"We have NO preserved tyrannosaurid DNA (indeed, not Mesozoic dinosaur DNA sequences), so there are no T-Rex genes,” Thomas Holtz, Jr., a vertebrate palaeontologist at the University of Maryland ...

DNA or no DNA, we also don't have a good idea of what T-Rex skin was like. "There are a handful of [tyrannosaurid skin] impressions, but that doesn't let us know what the internal tissue was like ...
