RE-engineering your body

RE-engineering your body
Inside & out , we expect perfection.Now ,techonology is providing the tools

REPAIR OR REPLACE


1... REBUILDING THE HEART

Its Stem-cell therapy , Stem cell from a patient's bone marrow are harvested & injected into heart muscle , stimulating surviving but non-contracting muscle.

2... ENGINEERING EYES

Artificial retina , A tiny spectacles camera relays images to a computer that digitizes & transmits them to retinal implant . the implant stimulates retinal cells to send the images along the optic nerve to brain .

3... SKIN , KNEES AND ORGAN

New knee cartilage, Damaged carttilage is removed and a flap made from shinbone tissue covers the area , healthy cartilage cells , multiplied in lab, are injected.

4... ARTIFICIAL KIDINEY

Hybrid devices, engineered bladder , a complete bladder can be created by harvesting bladder tissue cell from a patient sample and shaping them in to a bioegrable mould.

5... HIGH TECH LIMBS

Mechinical prosthetics are improving by leap s and bounds,too, thanks to technological advances and US Department of defence, they provide high tech sensor hand and also extreame knee's shock absorbing ability .

6... IMPLANTS

Helping Movement , a remote-controlled injectable muscle implant implies movement in paralyzed muscles by electrical stimulation.

7... NEURAL PROSTHETICES

Deep brain stimulation , electrodes implanted in brai and connected to an electrical stimulator in the cheast help the tremors associated with parkinson's
