How Can Bacteria Help Us Fight Back Against Bacteria?

چکیده

Microbes live everywhere and have an intense social life, interacting with many different species. Like each of us, they must be able to survive in a certain location, develop strategies get what need. Bacteria, type microbe, produce small compounds called bacteriocins that can kill other microbes compete for resources. Bacteriocins help us solve problems, such as antibiotic resistance or food spoilage. We are already taking advantage some bacteriocins, like nisin, but more come health applications.

Can engineered bacteria help control cancer?

H and anoxia are pathophysiologic characteristics of most solid tumors (1, 2). For nearly 150 years, nonpathogenic, anaerobic bacteria that preferentially localize and proliferate in the hypoxic regions of tumors have been investigated as treatments for experimental and human tumors with mixed success (Table 1). In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in using these bacteria as innov...

How Can Nature Help Us Compute?

Ever since Alan Turing gave us a machine model of algorithmic computation, there have been questions about how widely it is applicable (some asked by Turing himself). Although the computer on our desk can be viewed in isolation as a Universal Turing Machine, there are many examples in nature of what looks like computation, but for which there is no well-understood model. In many areas, we have ...

How can natural brains help us compute?

A model of biologically inspired natural computing is reviewed. Recurrent neural networks are set up so as to take advantage of emergent spatiotemporal chaotic regimes. Seminal work explaining the emergence of complexity in initially homogeneous physical and biological systems can be attributed to Alan Turing himself. Dynamical complexity provides a variety of computational modes and rich input...

How Business Community Institutions Can Help Fight Corruption∗

This paper considers the possibility of collective action by the business community to counter corruption in the award of government licenses and contracts. The analogy is with contract enforcement institutions studied by economic historians and contract law scholars. The institution in this context comprises a no-bribery norm, a community system to detect violations, and a multilateral ostraci...
