  • Abstract
    Until recently organ or cell transplantations were the only feasible way to restore severely impaired functions of internal organs. With the development and the miniaturization of microprocessors the possibility of designing implantable real-time flexible electronic systems for functional control of internal organs to replace impaired local “human microprocessors” looks more realistic than ever
