For this promise to be fully realized, it is important that the body and machine elements of bionic systems be seamlessly integrated. One challenge to this level of integration is that the majority of development efforts are focused on the machine, while the body is left unaltered. This leads to suboptimal body–machine interactions, which limits the efficacy of the bionic system. In this review, I explore an alternative design paradigm, which I call “anatomics,” in which body and machine are engineered in parallel. I highlight historical and recent examples of anatomics as applied to clinical problems, and discuss how these approaches have enabled the field of bionics to make progress in overcoming long-standing challenges. I also attempt to demystify the anatomics process by outlining the most important lessons I have learned while working in this space.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36748,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Biomedical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42476046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In adulthood, mature cells maintain the tissue in homeostatic balance to cope with changes in cardiac mechanics. Pathological progression of aortic valve disease is characterized by asymptomatic irreversible extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling rendering the valve dysfunctional, ultimately leading to heart failure and death if the valve is not replaced. Resident cells within the tissue are responsible for congenital and acquired pathological conditions. A complex heterogenous population of cells resides within the valve apparatus, including underreported populations of neurons and melanocytes. Though not thoroughly explored, reports suggest that these cell types have implications in development, homeostasis, and disease progression within the AoV. In this current opinion piece, we summarize recent and relevant literature exploring the connection between both AoV cellular heterogeneity and cell developmental origin in development and disease.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36748,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Biomedical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41973653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
