There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
In new research, Alex Green, an assistant professor at ASU’s Biodesign Institute, demonstrates how living cells can be induced to carry out computations in the manner of tiny robots or computers. The ...
Cells in nature have to respond to environmental stimuli with a complex repertoire of responses. In effect, they make computations that require processing that is both analog, like adjusting to a ...
Genetic circuits control the activity of genes and thereby the function of cells and organisms. Scientists have shown how various genetic circuits in bacterial cells are influenced by growth ...
Electronic gizmos and living cells alike can process signals, turning inputs into outputs—even recognizing when gray-area signaling is dark enough, or light enough, to justify decisions that are, well ...
Synthetic biology researchers have demonstrated a new method for digital information processing in living cells, analogous to the logic gates used in electric circuits. The circuits are the largest ...
A fundamental goal of synthetic biology is to predictably and efficiently reprogram cells to perform computations and carry out specific biological tasks 1. Cells genetically engineered with ...
(Nanowerk News) Synthetic biology allows scientists to design genetic circuits that can be placed in cells, giving them new functions such as producing drugs or other useful molecules. However, as ...
Complex brain circuits in rodents can organize themselves with genetics playing only a secondary role, according to a new computer modelling study published today in eLife. The findings help answer a ...
