There are three main types of artificial organs: mechanical artificial organs, semi-mechanical and semi-biological artificial organs, and biological artificial organs.

A senior scientist in biomedical engineering and a professor of literature at Tongji University, Professor Wenjun Jun has led the development of "a series of medical nanomaterials and tissue regeneration and repair products" widely used in clinical treatment.

The team developed a series of technical products such as plasticized protein nano-coated medical catheters, highly simulated 3D printed intervertebral discs, highly simulated artificial blood vessels, cartilage defect repair, central nerve repair and regeneration, and three-dimensional cell culture in vitro. "," Artificial intervertebral disc "," artificial blood vessel transplantation "," cartilage regeneration "," central nerve injury "," in vitro cell culture "and many other fields, have good performance and extensive clinical applicability, many technologies and The products reach the world leading level. ^[3]
