Textbook Question
Chapter 40, Problem 11TYU
SCIENCE. TECHNOLOGY. AND SOCIETY Medical researchers are investigating artificial substitutes for various human tissues. Why might artificial blood or skin be useful? What characteristics would these substitutes need in order to function well in the body? Why do real tissues work better? Why not use the real tissues if they work better? What other artificial tissues might be useful? What problems do you anticipate in developing and applying them?
