Lab-Grown T-Rex leather turns into handbag   Techwear label Enfin Levé debuts a handbag made from lab-grown T-Rex leather and collagen collected from fossilized dinosaur bone fragments. On public display at Art Zoo Museum in Amsterdam, the accessory is positioned beside a cast of a Tyrannosaurus rex specimen on loan from Naturalis Biodiversity Center. The handbag comes to life using the collagen of a specimen. In the standard production, it comes from the hides of cattle, sheep, or other animals after slaughter, but in the Lab-Grown T-Rex Leather, the collagen sequence was reconstructed from fossilized T-rex bone fragments. The original protein recovered from those fossils were incomplete, meaning that fossilization over 68 million years leaves gaps in the biological record, so the scientists at The Organoid Company used computational biology and AI modelling to predict and fill in the missing genetic data.   The result was a complete, synthesized collagen blueprint for the species.…
