A unique scientific breakthrough: the world will create the first tyrannosaurus skin to be grown in the laboratory. Thanks to prehistoric DNA and advanced genetic engineering technologies, scientists plan to create materials that will be the basis for new eco-friendly products, such as bags and jackets of extinct dinosaurs.
The project that has already attracted the attention of the world combines genomic engineering, fabric engineering and bioengineering to create innovative material. Its basis will be a fragment of collagen, found in the fossilism of the tyrannosaurus, which was discovered in 1988 in Montana. This fragment contained blood proteins and became the basis for creating a complete sequence of collagen T. Rex.
The process of growing tyrannosaurus will be carried out in the laboratory in Newcastle for cooperation between The Organoid Company, Lab-Grown Leather Ltd and the VML. The reconstructed collagen will be introduced into skin cells, creating a material similar to the skin of a prehistoric monster.
The first products that will appear on the market will be environmental accessories, including tyrannosaurus leather bags. Scientists plan to launch production by the end of 2025. Not only will it be a step to reduce the harmful effects on the environment, but it will also give up the abuse of animals in the production of traditional skin.
New technology has enormous potential for the development of other industries, including the automotive industry, where materials that can also be used by prehistoric biological structures can also be used.
