Artificial organ' is part of WikiProject Transhumanism, which aims to organize, expand, clean up, and guide Transhumanism related articles on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can edit this article, or visit the project page for more details.TranshumanismWikipedia:WikiProject TranshumanismTemplate:WikiProject TranshumanismTranshumanism articles
Add Transhumanism navigation template on the bottom of all transhumanism articles; (use {{Transhumanism}} or see navigation template)
Add Transhumanism info box to all transhumanism related talk pages (use {{Wpa}} or see info box)
Add [[Category:transhumanism]] to the bottom of all transhumanism related articles, so it shows up on the list of transhumanism articles
Maintenance / Etc
Find/cite sources for all positions of an article (see citing sources.
Try to expand stubs, however, some "new" articles may be neologisms, as this is common with positions on theories on life and may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process)
Watch the list of transhumanism related articles and add to accordingly (see transhumanism articles)

I believe this article needs to be updated in terms of contemporary progress. For example, the eye prosthetic description is sourcing an article from 2002. Expandingcircle (talk) 16:52, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Some advancements which should be mentioned include: additional artificial organs created (an artificial vagina now exists; a subsection should probably be added), technologies to make them (3D printing), materials used (one organ grown by scientists used spinach leaves), etc. ggwatson (talk) 11:54, 9 February 2018
Would it be useful to categorize this article into two distinct groups of biologics and synthetics? For example, a lab grown organ versus an engineered biomechatronic limb. 88synapse88 (talk) 16:25, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
File:DraftOfTypesOfArtOrgans.pngOverview of the different types of artificial organs we have so far e. g (Tissue based; Isograft: between genetically identical individuals, Xenografts: between members of different spiecies, allograft: between different members of the same speicies)
we could make a figure with an overview of, as the draft here.:
(Non-tissue based:Implants: made not of cells, but typically of alloys and electronics ,Organ funtion replacements: External machines replacing some or more of the functions that internal organs usually performs)
(Tissue based; Isograft: between genetically identical individuals, Xenografts: between members of different spiecies, allograft: between different members of the same speicies)
(Partially tissue based; for bones eg: Add ceramic mixes with nutrients for certain tissue encouraging tissues to grow in and on them)
If there is a mood for it I am happy to draw a prettier version of it
then we could also make reference list to all of the wiki's about the solutions that exists within each of these areas
like:
List of non-tissue based artificial organs:
Replacing one or more functions of our organs we find machines such as
Isograft and allografts(homograft ) often end up 'just' beeing refered to as transplants despite these also often beeing so re-engineered that they are as artificial as the organs we transplant from different species. Not many clinical trials have been done in this area yet, most of the ones done have not shown any promesing results yet.
Maybe it is better to use the term non native organs? as when we talk about organs which comes from other patients but which have been remodelled immunologically and often also tissuewise, they the principle very close to xenografts which a lot of people seems to agree counts as artificial organs? it also seems strange to refer to things taken out of the body, which is then reconfigured and put back into the body as an artificial organ but that is often the case? if we say non native organs, it is clear that we are simply refering to an organ not originally in the body, but which is a functional part of the body never the less. It can also sometimes be very tricky to define where the border between implant and partially tissue based artificial organ lies, as most implants often ends up somehow interacting with tissue.
Partially tissue based:
Not many clinical trials have been done in this area yet, most of the ones done have not shown any promesing results yet. One company working intensly on it is: https://ossiform.com/. This also rases the question of weather we want to formulate our understanding and defintions based on what is already possible and availble or what we think will be available in the future?

You picked a bit of a land mine of an area to jump into, given the Macchiarini stuff that has gone on over the past ten years.
But in general please use recent literature reviews in high quality journals; please avoid journals published by predatory publishers, and please be careful not to use sources that are written by people reviewing their own work; we want independent sources as much as possible.

I added 7 sentences on microchips from scholarly journals from 2016-2017 and removed the two previous sentences. The new material posted covers what the previous author posted. I hope this is helpful, thanks! RCastellanos (talk) 01:01, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello all,
I've recently added the 'Testes" section and two sentences and references to said section. In addition, I've added a few other sentences to the brain and thymus section to provide updated information to each of them. Thank you! Tfriersonjr (talk) 02:41, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I tried making a rough draft of all the different levels of buildings bloks that there is to Organs in a human, and which part they go together to to build in what organ. Would it make sense to have a such overview here(assuming we got some more accurate numbers)?
To kind of map out the complexity there is to making an artifical organ and make it more intuative and navigable what belongs where on what level of an aritifical organ Claes Lindhardt (talk) 07:07, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
