Article. Bionic Body.

The article talked about how two struggling engineer scientists, Joseph Vacanti and Bob Langer, tried over and over again to try and create the perfect replacement tissue. Together, they tried to make it possible that if you were for example missing an ear or body part, you could take out biodegradable scaffold in your body to create it. For instance, they grew on a mouse showing how it worked properly with the body functions. The main idea I got that this could help with is when people get arthitis, there would now be a cure so you could create new muscular tissue in the body. It does mention also that it isn't an easy task to create this "perfect tissue-engineered cells."  Studies have came to show that it is easiest for tissue to become sheet like cartilage to form under pressure. And according to Naughton, liver tissue can form better in microgravity surroundings. All they really need now to make this process complete and successful is the "perfect" scaffold that can keep out waste and take in good nutrients. In the long run, this could be very helpful to society because we can use it to help make our bodies have the things we're lacking or prevent disease such as cardiovascular disease.
The main reason importance of this article is that it can help society in many different ways. This can help with if your missing important tissues you can just use other cells in your body to reproduce those cells using scaffold cells. It can also be a solution to disease you can form in your body because now you are able to get implants of these cells that aren't infected. You do need to mimick the enviroment in which your cells grow to produce this, but in the future I think they figure out an easier way to do this. It could one day be one of the greatest invention after they master creating the more complex organs . All this coming from two men that failed for so long, but now have one of the best creations known to man-kind.
