Memphis Meats and New Age Meats are experimenting with gene editing to help make lab-grown chicken, pork, and beef. It's the first known instance of Crispr being used in a new meat product.

— putting the pricetag of a clean quarter-pounder at roughly the same cost as monthly rent for an average 2-bedroom apartment in San Francisco. Within two years, however, the company said it had reduced the cost to $2,400 per pound.

Another problem that many clean meat startups have encountered is that cells from chickens and cows don't like to continually reproduce on their own. At first, they happily replicate. But over time, they slow down and then stop.
