Notes on Artificial Organ Technologies

Note: The field of artificial organs is typically framed around bioelectronics and materials design. However, this framing is insufficient. True cyberpunk-level replacement technologies must interface with existing biochemical pathways(metabolic cycles, signalling cascades, membrane dynamics, immune system modulation, etc, etc) and this requires nanotechnological enablement. These notes reflect that conviction, hence the high density of nanosystems references throughout.

Important Definition: Cytronics is the engineering discipline concerned with the design, fabrication, and operation of controllable nanoscale devices for cellular engineering purposes. See here: https://wetprogrammablenanosystems.bearblog.dev/intro-to-cytotronics/

Miscellaneous notes

What happens when you cut into the "flesh" of someone whose whole body was replaced with prosthetic devices composed of diamondoid nanomachines
It wouldn't be far-fetched to assume that with sufficiently advanced material science, we could line the entire surface of prosthetic organs and tissues with nano accessories that can actuate on command to provide the user with anti-microbial properties.
We do not have true cybernetic medicine
Good book on artificial organs principles.Annesini et al. Artificial Organ Engineering
