"Discusses the history of technological innovation in the biosciences"--
"Scholars and policymakers alike agree that innovation in the biosciences is key to future growth. The field continues to shift and expand, and it is certainly changing the way people live their lives in a variety of ways. But despite the lion's share of federal research dollars being devoted to innovation in the biosciences, the field has yet to live up to its billing as a...

The Engineering of Human Joint Replacements covers the design, engineering, production and manufacture of human joint replacements, as well as associated engineering concerns such as surface coatings, orthopaedic bone cement, the causes and effects of wear and tear, and rapid prototyping for clinical evaluation. Materials evaluation and selection is discussed, as well as production processes and insertion methods. The author also gives an overview...

Our lives are about to be changed by new technologies that operate on a scale that is smaller than can be seen by the most powerful optical microscopes. Devices inspired by living cells and measured in nanometers - billionths of a meter - are the basis of this nanotechnology revolution. Michael Gross takes us to this world to explore natural processes and new technologies that will make modern machines look like relics from the Stone Age.

"Engineering has been an essential collaborator in biological research and breakthroughs in biology are often enabled by technological advances. Decoding the double helix structure of DNA, for example, only became possible after significant advances in such technologies as X-ray diffraction and gel electrophoresis. Diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis improved as new technologies--including the stethoscope, the microscope, and the X-ray--developed....

After World War II, the United States underwent a massive cultural transformation that was vividly realized in the development and widespread use of new medical technologies. Plastic surgery, wonder drugs, artificial organs, and prosthetics inspired Americans to believe in a new age of modern medical miracles. The nationalistic pride that flourished in postwar society, meanwhile, encouraged many Americans to put tremendous faith in the power of medicine...

In Drawing Blood, medical historian Keith Wailoo uses the story of blood diseases to explain how physicians in this century wielded medical technology to define disease, carve out medical specialties, and shape political agendas. As Wailoo's account make clear, the seemingly straightforward process of identifying disease is invariably influenced by personal, professional, and social factors - and the result is not only clarity and precision but also...

Today's scientists are showing us how stem cells create and repair the human body. Unlocking these secrets has become the new Holy Grail of biomedical research. But behind that research lies a sharp divide, one that has continued for years, as using human embryonic stem cells is strongly opposed by many people. While stem cells offer the hope of creating or repairing tissues lost to age, disease, and injury, they also hold the potential to incite...
