This book explains the process of building with living biological cells. Raman argues that biofabrication can address technological challenges in medicine, agriculture, and global security. She discusses four applications of biofabrication: tissue engineering, organs-on-a-chip, lab-grown meat and leather, and biohybrid machines. These applications demonstrate the ability of biological materials to adapt dynamically to their environments, demonstrating the beauty, adaptiveness, and persistence of biological machinery. Raman's insights can help us appreciate the potential of biofabrication.
