STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Body 2.0: The Engineering Revolution in Medicine

This book explores biomedical engineering and developments that may shape medical technology in the near future. It looks at efforts to repair, supplement, or replace body parts, including work on laboratory-grown organs and tissue, regeneration of damaged bone and muscle, and ways to redirect visual signals to the brain. It also covers neuroengineering, microbial science, genetic engineering, and synthetic biology. Brief profiles and true stories introduce researchers working in these fields, with photographs, color diagrams, and extensive back matter.
