Biomedical researchers create artificial human bone marrow in a test tube

Artificial bone marrow that can continuously make red and white blood cells has been created in a University of Michigan lab.

This development could lead to simpler pharmaceutical drug testing, closer study of immune system defects and a continuous supply of blood for transfusions. picked by AutumnLotus 11 months ago

That's really cool. I always wonder at the word "biomedical," though. Not really any other kinds of medicine besides "bio," are there?

Allow me...

The distinction would be as to whether the resource was biological or not.

A bandage, for example, would not be biomedical. And an aspirin would be pharma-medical, in theory.

So you mean the blood in a transfusion scenario, or an organ transplant would fit the definition?

Yep. But the needle and tube they use to get the blood out of the donor wouldn't.
