How to Make a Synthetic Multicellular Computer
Biological systems perform computations at multiple scales and they do so in a robust way. Engineering metaphors have often been used in order to provide a rationale for modeling cellular and molecular computing networks and as the basis for their synthetic design. However, a major constraint in this mapping between electronic and wet computational circuits is the wiring problem. Although wires...
متن کاملAIsHockey—A Platform for Studying Synthetic Players
We introduce a computer game platform, AIsHockey, which is based on the real-world game of ice hockey. The platform allows us to implement and study autonomous, realtime synthetic players (i.e., computer-controlled actors in a game). By applying the Model-View-Controller architectural pattern we define the role of a synthetic player and recognize its responsibilities and interfaces in the softw...
متن کاملSynthetic 3D multicellular systems for drug development.
Since the 1970s, the limitations of two dimensional (2D) cell culture and the relevance of appropriate three dimensional (3D) cell systems have become increasingly evident. Extensive effort has thus been made to move cells from a flat world to a 3D environment. While 3D cell culture technologies are meanwhile widely used in academia, 2D culture technologies are still entrenched in the (pharmace...
متن کاملA distinct feature of development in the simple eukaryote Dictyostelium discoideum is an aggregative transition from a unicellular to a multicellular phase. Using genome-wide transcriptional analysis
The soil amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has a relatively simple developmental program. It is characterized by a series of highly coordinated cellular, physiological and morphological changes and serves as a paradigm in the research of multicellular development (Kessin, 2001; Loomis, 1975). Upon starvation, the unicellular amoebae stop dividing, aggregate, form a multicellular organism that con...
متن کاملModeling a synthetic multicellular clock: repressilators coupled by quorum sensing.
Diverse biochemical rhythms are generated by thousands of cellular oscillators that somehow manage to operate synchronously. In fields ranging from circadian biology to endocrinology, it remains an exciting challenge to understand how collective rhythms emerge in multicellular structures. Using mathematical and computational modeling, we study the effect of coupling through intercell signaling ...
