Synthetic mixed-signal computation in living cells
Living cells implement complex computations on the continuous environmental signals that they encounter. These computations involve both analogue- and digital-like processing of signals to give rise to complex developmental programs, context-dependent behaviours and homeostatic activities. In contrast to natural biological systems, synthetic biological systems have largely focused on either dig...
متن کاملRobust Signal Processing in Living Cells
Cellular signaling networks have evolved an astonishing ability to function reliably and with high fidelity in uncertain environments. A crucial prerequisite for the high precision exhibited by many signaling circuits is their ability to keep the concentrations of active signaling compounds within tightly defined bounds, despite strong stochastic fluctuations in copy numbers and other detriment...
متن کاملEngineering Synthetic Gene Circuits in Living Cells with CRISPR Technology.
One of the goals of synthetic biology is to build regulatory circuits that control cell behavior, for both basic research purposes and biomedical applications. The ability to build transcriptional regulatory devices depends on the availability of programmable, sequence-specific, and effective synthetic transcription factors (TFs). The prokaryotic clustered regularly interspaced short palindromi...
متن کاملEngineering of a synthetic electron conduit in living cells.
Engineering efficient, directional electronic communication between living and nonliving systems has the potential to combine the unique characteristics of both materials for advanced biotechnological applications. However, the cell membrane is designed by nature to be an insulator, restricting the flow of charged species; therefore, introducing a biocompatible pathway for transferring electron...
متن کاملMixed Computation in Novosibirsk
In these notes, I would like to give an account of the history of mixed computations at Novosibirsk Computing Center and later at A.P. Ershov Institute of Informatics Systems. It is quite possible (and even most probable) that I will not be able to mention all persons and events relevant to the works in this field, but in no way, it is to diminish their significance.
