Artificial Organs

Artificial organs are man-made devices or systems designed to replace or support the function of natural organs in the human body. They can be used to treat various medical conditions, improve quality of life, or extend survival. Examples include artificial hearts, which can take over pumping blood, and kidneys that can filter waste when the natural kidneys fail. These innovations are significant in medicine, providing solutions when transplants are not possible and enabling patients to live healthier lives. Research continues to advance the development of more sophisticated artificial organs, using materials that mimic the functions of human tissues.
