That used to be a permanent and fatal condition, but today you can fix that condition with a stem cell therapy that is definitely regarded as bioengineering.
Because of the small number of patients he has treated, his critics say it's hard to determine how valid Macchiarini's bioengineering technique is in treating patients like Hannah.
With the exception of a team working at Pennsylvania State University, he stands alone in the pursuit of what may be the ultimate feat of bioengineering, (see table).
Rees toys with the idea of pervasive surveillance of everyone on the globe, bioengineering all antisocial tendencies from humanity, or creating a worldwide system of rewarding scientific whistle-blowers.
Success required having an array of equipment and people at the ready helicopter-rescue personnel, trauma surgeons, an experienced cardiac anesthesiologist and surgeon, bioengineering support staff, operating and critical-care nurses, intensivists.
IBM, in partnership with the Singapore Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, has developed a hydrogel that can be smeared all over such implants, greatly reducing the risk of infection.

In the second stage, lactic-acid molecules are linked into long chains, or polymers, in chemical-reaction vessels, to produce PLA. What Dr Lee and his colleagues have succeeded in doing, as they report in Biotechnology and Bioengineering, is to produce PLA directly, in a one-stage process, in bacteria.
