How do you feel about the morality of artifical organs? What influences your opinion?
3D Bioprinting and Nanotechnology in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine by Lijie Grace Zhang, John P. Fisher and Kam W. Leong, “an in depth introduction to these two technologies and their industrial applications” (Science Direct 2022).
Contrast agents injected intramuscularly are engineered to enhance the resolution and specificity of imaging types such as MRI, CT, and Xray
Nanoparticles can encapsulate medicine, enhancing its stability and minimizing off-target effects and toxicity. Surface modification techniques increase functionality for targeted delivery, allowing personalized medicine and treatments tailored to the individual
Bioartificial organs can address the critical shortage of donor organs, offering hope to patients on transplant waiting lists.
The primary objective of this survey was to understand the perspectives, experiences, and opinions of experts, medical patients, and everyday society in the field of nanotechnology applied to bioartificial organs.
Out of the 43 respondents, 31 reported having undergone surgery at some point in their lives. The surgeries included double hip surgery, labrum and femoral head repair, kidney reflux, joint degeneration, and organ malignancies.
74.4% of respondents ranked the ethicality above a 7, with 0% ranking it a 3 or below.
Functional nanostructures such as amphiphiles, mesogens, and rod coil copolymers were engineered to mimic the self healing of cells, reconstruction of blood vessels, and reconstruction of damaged or diseased tissues through a functional polymer system.
Bioartificial organs are cutting-edge medical innovations that replicate the functions of natural organs using bioengineered materials.
Bioengineers at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed the “....first biohybrid model of human ventricles with helically aligned beating cardiac cells,” (Burrows, 2022).
46,632 organ transplants in 2023, a 12.7% increase from 2021, the first year to break 40,000
Bioartificial organs mimic almost all of the functions of a real organ, including tissue density, oxygen saturation, and cell reconstruction capabilies
Biochemical material can respond to external and chemical stimuli and adapt, in comparison to the initial artificial material used for trials
These medical advancements can translate to cell therapies, genome editing, stem cell transfusions, and more
