Abstract

The development of the modern era of bioengineering and the advances in our understanding of the cardiovascular system have been intertwined over the past one-half century. This is true of bioengineering as an area for research in universities. Bioengineering is ultimately the beginning of a new engineering discipline, as well as a new discipline in the medical device industry.

Highlights

  • HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE As discussed by both Citron and Nerem[1] and Bergman and Nerem,[2] the medical device industry evolved in the second half of the 20th century

  • There are more than 100 departments of this type, and the field of biomedical engineering/bioengineering is recognized as being its own academic discipline, an engineering discipline based on the science of biology

  • The vascular endothelium, which was in contact with the flowing blood and the associated shear stress environment, became a focus on the effects of the hemodynamic environment on vascular endothelial biology.[3]

Summary

Introduction

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE As discussed by both Citron and Nerem[1] and Bergman and Nerem,[2] the medical device industry evolved in the second half of the 20th century. TISSUE ENGINEERING AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE Tissue engineering is another research area where bioengineering has had a significant involvement, and has been intertwined with the growth of this new engineering discipline.
