Read about the advantages and disadvantages of tissue engineering. Tissue engineering is the use of a combination of cells, materials, engineering methods and the appropriate biochemical factors to improve biological functions or to replace them a...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/9395.aspxTue, 30 Sep 2008 19:05:04 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:9395barrosd12This article introduces the idea of bionics. More than just science fiction, bionics is a technology with both current and future real world applications. Bionics for a New Age There was a new show on NBC (and when I say new, I really mean a rehash) about a woman who had bionic implants that allowed her to be a secret agent. The show was a re-flimi...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/9356.aspxTue, 30 Sep 2008 18:00:07 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:9356mslateRead about W. L. Hastings, the chief technician who controlled the first artificial heart, the Jarvik 7. In the early days of artificial heart medicine, the artificial heart systems were not the compact portable devices that have evolved through medical technology. When Dr. Barney Clark and William Schroeder received their artificial hearts, the de...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/9070.aspxMon, 29 Sep 2008 18:10:35 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:9070ejlloydBionics is a fascinating subject with a relatively short but interesting history. Find out more about this exciting field. When was Bionics first “Discovered?” The term “bionics” was created in 1958 by Jack. E. Steele, a worker at the Aeronautics Division House at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.

Researchers in applied fields from medicine to environmental clean-up have found the study of phylogeny to be valuable. Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a characteristic, individual, population, species, or group of species. It is most often depicted as a branching tree analogous to a family tree. ...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/3682.aspxFri, 01 Aug 2008 02:02:52 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:3682n.bahl80Biotechnology has been in existence for centuries, although it only recently has become more defined in the promise and discoveries it can create for problems that exist. Biotechnology has many uses and has also found its place in many industries such as science, medicine and agriculture. The improvements that have been made in various fields such ...
