Body 2.0 : the engineering revolution in medicine / Sara Latta.

Latta, Sara L., (author.).

Summary:

"Meet scientists who are on the verge of breakthroughs in biomedical engineering. From encouraging the body to regenerate damaged bone and muscle tissue to re-routing visual stimuli to the brain to help blind people see, these discoveries will change medicine radically."-- Provided by publisher.
The oldest known prosthesis, a wooden toe, was found on an ancient Egyptian mummy. We now have the technology to grow new organs in the lab; we have the tools edit defective genes in a person's body. From encouraging the body to regenerate damaged bone and muscle tissue to re-routing visual stimuli to the brain to help blind people see, Latta explains how modern medical and technical discoveries are changing our world. -- adapted from jacket
