Bionics – Medicine and Cosmetics #15
by Bernd Hill (Author& Illustrator)
Description
We are constantly looking for new medicines to treat deadly diseases such as cancer, diabetes and strokes. To do this, pharmaceutical researchers rely on ingredients from nature: plants and animals alike are important sources for new pharmaceutical products. The cosmetic industry is also discovering important ingredients in the rainforests. For example, skin creams that are developed from oily fruits, seeds and palm trees or new fragrances created from various orchid species. This book introduces many interesting examples, where nature and its ingredients furthered the invention of medical and cosmetic products.
