Engineering Approaches Toward Biological Information Integration at the Systems Level
Our understanding of biological systems has improved dramatically due to decades of exploration. This process has been accelerated even further during the past ten years, mainly due to the genome projects, new technologies such as microarray, and developments in proteomics. These advances have generated huge amounts of data describing biological systems from different aspects. Still, integratin...
متن کاملEngineering a Biological Revolution
The new field of synthetic biology promises to change health care, computer technology, the production of biofuels, and more. Students participating in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition are on the front lines of this revolution.
متن کاملMalignancy and joint replacement.
In a 1989 editorial entitled 'Malignancy and joint replacement : the tip of an iceberg?' (1989 ; 71-B : 1), my predecessor offered to collect and later publicise instances of malignancy occurring in close association with joint-replacement implants. Since then we have received six reports, which are not known to have been published elsewhere, ofpatients in whom a malignancy has occurred in asso...
متن کاملNanotechnology in joint replacement.
This paper reviews the most relevant achievements and new developments in the field of nanomaterials and their possible impact on the fabrication of a new generation of reliable and longer lasting implants for joint replacement. Special emphasis is given to the role of nanocomposites with different microstructural designs: micro-nano composites, nano-nano composites, macro-micro-nano composites...
متن کاملJoint replacement surgery.
Joint replacement is the most effective healthcare measure in improving patient quality-of-life outcomes. More than 46000 hip and knee replacements were performed in Australia between July 2000 and July 2001. The need for joint replacements will increase as the population ages. More than 90% of hip and/or knee replacements survive for 10-15 years. Prosthesis selection needs to be tailored to ea...
