A mechanistic meeting point

It will come as no surprise to the readers of this journal that the chemical biology community draws from a diverse pool of scientists. Although the next generation of chemical biologists may truly be schooled in two (or even many) disciplines, many ‘current’ chemical biologists were still formally trained primarily in one subject. As a result, researchers in this multidisciplinary field often ...

Social Robots a Meeting Point between Science and Fiction

fi ction had taken separate paths which seldom crossed. Industrial robots in production lines had little to do with the androids inhabiting Asimov or Philip K. Dick’s stories. In recent years, the remarkable advances in disciplines such as mechanics, electronics and computer technology, along with the need to open new markets, have led to the development of humanoid robots.

Bilateral Negotiation of a Meeting Point in a Maze: Demonstration

Negotiation between agents aims at reaching an agreement in which the conflicting interests of agents are accommodated. In this paper, we present a concrete negotiation scenario where two agents are situated in a maze and the negotiation outcome is a cell where they will meet. Based on their individual preferences (a minimal distance from their location computed from their partial knowledge of ...

Membranes: a meeting point for lipids, proteins and therapies

Membranes constitute a meeting point for lipids and proteins. Not only do they define the entity of cells and cytosolic organelles but they also display a wide variety of important functions previously ascribed to the activity of proteins alone. Indeed, lipids have commonly been considered a mere support for the transient or permanent association of membrane proteins, while acting as a selectiv...
