Synthetic jellyfish made from rat tissue

The video discusses a bioengineering experiment where rat tissue is placed in a silicon polymer shaped like a jellyfish. This tissue grows into a membrane that mimics the muscle structure of a jellyfish. When charged with electricity, the synthetic membrane moves like a jellyfish. Researchers aim to use this study to advance bioengineering for human muscular organs.
