Biomechanics
Definition
• Biomechanics is the study of the structure, function and motion of the
mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms
to organs, cells and cell organelles using the methods of mechanics.
• The word "biomechanics" (1899) and the related "biomechanical" (1856) come
from the Ancient Greek βίος bios "life" and μηχανική, mēchanikē
"mechanics", to refer to the study of the mechanical principles of living
organisms, particularly their movement and structure.
• Biomechanics combines engineering and the life sciences by applying
principles from classical mechanics to the study of living systems. This
relatively new field covers a broad range of topics, including strength of
biological materials, biofluid mechanics in the cardiovascular and
respiratory systems, material properties and interactions of medical
implants and the body, heat and mass transfer into biological tissues (e.g.,
tumors), biocontrol systems regulating metabolism or voluntary motion, and
kinematics and kinetics applied to study human gait.

Biosensor
Definition
• Biosensors are sensors that combine biological components with electronic
components (transducers) that convert signals from biological components
into measurable outputs. Biosensor can also be interpreted as an analytical
tool that combines biological components with physicochemical detectors.

• The biosensor consists of:


 Sensitive biological elements such as tissues, microorganisms, organelles, cell
receptors, enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids, etc., are biological materials that
interact with the studied components. Such sensitive elements can also be made by
biological engineering.
 A physicochemical (optical, piezoelectric, electrochemical, etc.) operating transducer
that converts the signal resulting from interaction with the component under test so
that it can be measured easily.
 Biosensor reader related to electronics or signal processing for display.

Physiological
Modelling
Definition
• A quantitative physiological model is a mathematical representation that
approximates the behavior of an actual physiological system.

• Qualitative physiological models, most often used by biologists, describe the actual
physiological system without the use of mathematics.

• Creating a model is always accompanied by carrying out an experiment and obtaining


data. The best experiment is one that provides data that are related to variables used
in the model.

• A model constructed from basic and natural laws then becomes a tool for explaining
the underlying processes that cause the experimental data and predicting the behavior
of the system to other types of stimuli.

• Models serve as vehicles for thinking, organizing complex data, and testing
hypotheses.
Flowchart of Modelling
• The first step involves
observations from an experiment
or a phenomenon that lead to a
conjecture or a verbal description
of the physiological system.
• An initial hypothesis is formed via
a mathematical model. The
strength of the model is tested by
obtaining data and testing the
model against the data. If the
model performs adequately, the
model is satisfactory, and a
solution is stated. If the model
does not meet performance
specifications, then the model is
updated and additional
experiments are carried out.

Bionanotechnology
Definition
• Bionanotechnology is defined as the incorporation of biological molecules
into nanoartifacts.

• The highly refined molecular binding specificity is particularly valued and


used to facilitate the assembly of unique structures from a solution of
precursors and for capturing chemicals from the environment prior to
registering their presence via a transducer (biosensors).

• Further applications involve using the widely encountered ability of


biomolecules to easily accomplish actions associated with difficult and
extreme conditions in the artificial realm, such as the catalysis of many
chemical reactions, and exploiting optical nonlinearity with single photons, a
feature that can be exploited to construct all-optical computers.

Neural Engineering
Definition
• Neural engineering is the field of engineering interfaced with biological techniques to
replace, repair and analyze the neural systems.

• The aim of this type of biomedical field is to analyze and provide solutions to
neuroscience-related problems.

• This field of engineering also deals with rehabilitative solutions for nervous system
conditions. The emphasis on engineering and quantitative methodology applied to the
nervous system distinguishes neural engineering from traditional areas in

Visual Prostheses
• An artificial retina could soon become reality as many groups
are developing devices to replace damaged retinas. A
consortium of researchers in Australia, for example, are
working on bionic vision technologies to restore sight to
people with degenerative vision loss due to either retinitis
pigmentosa or age-related macular degeneration. In both
conditions, there is a problem in the part of the eye that senses
light but the neural circuitry and visual processing ability of
the brain is still intact.
• Using a camera attached to a pair of glasses, signals are
transmitted to a microchip implanted in the retina. From here,
small electrical currents are sent to surviving neurons in the
brain. Current technology limits the number of implanted
electrodes to about 100, so the resolution captured by the
camera is processed and reduced to create rudimentary
images. But these images can make a world of difference to
someone who otherwise cannot see.

Tissue Engineering
Definition
• Tissue engineering is a biomedical engineering discipline
integrating biology with engineering to create tissues or
cellular products outside the body (ex vivo) or to make
use of gained knowledge to better manage the repair of
tissues within the body (in vivo).

• This discipline requires understanding of diverse


biological fields, including cell and molecular biology,
physiology and systems integration, stem cell
proliferation and differentiation with lineage attributes,
extracellular matrix chemistry and compounds, and
endocrinology. It also requires knowledge of many
engineering fields, including biochemical and mechanical
engineering, polymer sciences, bioreactor design and
application, mass transfer analysis of gas and liquid
metabolites, and biomaterials.
Principle in Tissue Engineering
• Some of the fundamental scaling challenges
that face the tissue engineer in the
implementation of cell therapies or creation
of grafts and bioartificial organs.

• In these bioartificial structures, the tissue


compartments must be scaled to mimic
nutrient transport existent within natural
capillary beds found in the body. Generally,
these in vivo beds are composed of 100 mm
thick tissue slabs sandwiched by vasculature.

• Thus, the microenvironment of ex vivo


bioartificial devices must also maintain these
limitations in order to provide appropriate
concentrations of nutrients to tissue
cultures.

Biotechnology
Definition
• Biotechnology is a science-driven industry sector that uses living organisms
and molecular biology to produce healthcare-related products. Biotechnology
companies also develop therapeutics or processes (such as DNA
fingerprinting). Biotechnology is best known for its role in medicine and
pharmaceuticals, but the science is also applied in other areas such as
genomics, food production, and the production of biofuels.

• Biotechnology involves understanding how living organisms function at the


molecular level, so it combines a number of disciplines including biology,
physics, chemistry, mathematics, science, and technology.

• Modern biotechnology continues to make significant contributions to


extending the human lifespan and improving quality of life, including
providing products and therapies to combat diseases, generating higher crop
yields, and using biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
History and Development
• Biotechnology in its basic form has existed for thousands of years, dating back to an era when humans
first learned to produce bread, beer, and wine using the natural process of fermentation. For centuries,
the principles of biotechnology were restricted to agriculture, such as harvesting better crops and
improving yields by using the best seeds and breeding livestock.

• The field of biotechnology began to develop rapidly from the 19th century with the discovery of
microorganisms. Gregor Mendel’s study of genetics and groundbreaking work on fermentation and
microbial processes by giants in the field such as Pasteur and Lister. Early 20th-century biotechnology
led to the major discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming, which went into large-scale production in
the 1940s.

• Biotechnology took off in the 1950s, spurred by a better understanding in the post-war period of cell
function and molecular biology. Every decade since then produced major breakthroughs in
biotechnology. Some of the highlights are the following: The discovery of the 3D structure of DNA in the
1950s. Insulin synthesis and the development of vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella in the 1960s.
Massive strides in DNA research in the 1970s. The development of the first biotech-derived drugs and
vaccines to treat diseases such as cancer and hepatitis B in the 1980s. The identification of numerous
genes and the introduction of new treatments in decades for managing multiple sclerosis and cystic
fibrosis in the 1990s. The completion of the human genome sequence in the 1990s, which made it
possible for scientists worldwide to research new treatments for diseases with genetic origins like
cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s

enormous impact on the treatment of
injury and disease of the human body.
Biomaterials use increased rapidly in the
late 1800s, particularly after the advent of
aseptic surgical technique by Dr. Joseph
Lister in the 1860s. The first metal devices
to fix bone fractures were used as early as
the late eighteenth to nineteenth century;
the first total hip replacement prosthesis
was implanted in 1938; and in the 1950s
and 1960s, polymers were introduced for
cornea replacements and as blood vessel
