Remove dentures

According to these experts, this technology will eliminate the metal prosthesis and plastic that are implanted today to repair bone fractures and ligaments and thus avoid all the inconveniences that accompany them. In industrialized countries, one in 17 people has some kind of prosthesis of this kind and the number of complaints received by failures medical implants is increasing. The tissue engineering will be able to make structural tissues as the breast, or shapes defined as an ear, and, ultimately, may rebuild entire sections of the human body as a hand or arm.

According to the authors, an arm made of scaffolding described cellular above, it would take about six weeks to grow. A mechanical pump is responsible temperature control, supply nutrients and remove wastes constituent tissue while the arm grows. The only problem, according to authors, would be the nerve. No one has, so far, regenerate tissue nervous. But researchers do not cease their efforts and in the meantime, the microelectronics can solve many of the problems and deal with major challenges. One of the biggest is the vision. (more…)
