Description
Biofabrication: Building with Living Cells Ritu Raman explores how engineered materials and machines powered by living biological cells can address technological challenges in medicine, agriculture, and global security. This accessible introduction to biofabrication presents the fundamental technology that enables building with biology and delves into four applications with potential impact on daily life. Biofabrication has the ability to adapt dynamically to its environment, a trait synthetic materials do not possess. By understanding this concept, we can appreciate the beauty and persistence of biological machinery that drives our bodies and world. Raman examines biofabrication's potential in tissue engineering, organs-on-a-chip, lab-grown meat and leather, and biohybrid machines. This book offers an insight into the possibilities and principles of biofabrication, shedding light on its applications and implications for various fields.
