Tissue farming

Tissue farming is the illegal practice of cultivating cell cultures or reviving existing synth masses to grow synthetic tissues. Synthetic tissues have numerous applications, including weaponry, cybernetics and synth oil production.

Practice
Cell cultures, or protobionts, are extracted from revived synth parts or designed by bioengineers. With the addition of nutrient slurries and heat, the cultures grow into organs or structures as dictated by their genetic code. Bioengineers specialized in genetic modification, bioarchitects, modify the genetic code of the cultures.
