👉 Prostate engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, materials science, and mechanical engineering to design, develop, and modify prosthetic or bioengineered components for the prostate. This includes creating artificial prostheses to restore function in cases of prostate cancer treatment, such as radical prostatectomy, where the prostate gland is surgically removed. Researchers are also exploring the use of tissue engineering to grow functional prostate tissue, potentially offering a more natural replacement for damaged or removed tissue. Additionally, advances in nanotechnology and biocompatible materials are being leveraged to improve the integration and longevity of these engineered prostheses within the body, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
