The WJCCM Editorial Board has now been established and consists of 105 distinguished experts from 27 countries. Our purpose of launching the WJCCM is to publish peer-reviewed, high-quality articles via an open-access online pub...

Once More Unto the Breach ... towards Artificial Homeostasis?

The field of biologically inspired computing has generated many novel, interesting and useful computational systems. None of these systems alone is capable of approaching the level of behaviour for which the artificial intelligence and robotics communities strive. We suggest that it is now time to move on to integrating a number of these approaches in a biologically justifiable way. To this end...

The role of telocytes in morphogenetic bioelectrical signaling: once more unto the breach

THE FACTS In a series of recent papers, Levin and his coworkers (Levin, 2009, 2012; Adams and Levin, 2012; Tseng and Levin, 2012, 2013) introduced the concept of a morphogenetic code based on bioelectrical signaling between cells. They showed that patterns of resting potentials (Vmem) in non-excitable cells act as instructive signals during embryogenesis, regeneration and cancer suppression in ...
