The UK Government removed postcodes and true geolocation data from published crime and road traffic accident data around 5+ years ago now. They probably considered postcodes to be too sensitive information. Now locational data published is shifted to a nearby point.
I realised this when I noticed our local supermarket was a mega-crime hotspot!
Their paper states that they differentiate the adipose stem cells in to vascular tissue - chemically induce the growth of part of the blood vessel. It won't have the texture or taste of a blood vessel, but it's a theoretical stab at recreating the blood vessel.
The lack of connective tissue and use of transglutaminase to 'stick' cells together also struck me as odd. The muscle, and fat, components of the tissue would have no texture at all. Collagen printing has been around for ages now. Yeah, this is just hype (and Nature Comm can't find anyone to review).
