Tissue Engineering

Nimia Barrera

Imagine a day when people with liver failure can be cured with implanted "neo-organs" made of liver cells and plastic fibers. Imagine a day when insulin-dependent diabetics will not have to take frequent insulin injections because they have semi-synthetic replacement pancreases. A place in time when kidney dialysis machines are obsolete because anyone with damaged kidneys can be outfitted with new ones grown from their very own cells(1). Sound like science fiction? Not to scientists working in tissue engineering, a field of science that is barely a decade old.

Poetry

I'm posting a bunch of what I'm going to call associative-sound poems here, now. I might refer to them later in order to make a point about Moby Dick and Picasso and Gertrude Stein and my hypertext collage (linked to in a previous entry), but I don't have time now. Such a tease, I know ; )

Cross-posted to my livejournal. Nothing to do with Moby Dick, but the sort of thing I blog about.
