Embryonics: Artificial Cells Made of Artificial Molecules
Embryonics (embryonic electronics) is a research project which attempts to draw inspiration form the world of biology to design better digital computing machines, and notably massively parallel arrays of processors. In the course of the development of our project, we have realized that the use of programmable logic circuits (field-programmable gate arrays, or FPGAs) is, if not indispensable, at...
متن کاملEmbryonics: Artificial Cells Driven by Artificial DNA
Embryonics is a long-term research project attempting to draw inspiration from the biological process of ontogeny, to implement novel digital computing machines endowed with better fault-tolerant capabilities. For this purpose FPGAs are extremely useful. However, through this project we designed MuxTree, a new coarse-grained FPGA, to implement our embryonic machines. This article focuses on the...
متن کاملO-6: Maturation of Spermatogenic Cells in Artificial Seminiferous Tubules
Background This study aimed to investigate whether Artificial Seminiferous Tubules (AST) coated with testicular extra cellular matrix (ECM) support maturation of spermatogenic cells from immature testes. MaterialsAndMethods Medical grade tubes coated with testicular ECM were used. Testes from immature mice were loaded in the concentration of 10000- 20000/ml. Tubes were then immersed in germ cel...
متن کاملArtificial cells: prospects for biotechnology.
A variety of techniques can now be used to alter the genome of a cell. Although these techniques are very powerful, they have limitations related to cost and efficiency of scale. Artificial cells designed for specific applications combine properties of biological systems such as nanoscale efficiency, self-organization and adaptability at relatively low cost. Individual components needed for suc...
متن کاملDynamic, artificial cells and vesicles
Scott Long et al. have constructed synthetic cells comprised of lipid bilayer membranes surrounding a two-phase, aqueous polymer solution that can be reversibly converted to a single phase. An understanding of compartmentalization in cell function has been hampered by the lack of an experimental model system. Using a previously developed method, the authors constructed artificial cells by encap...
