Engineering a Light-Attenuating Artificial Iris
PURPOSE Discomfort from light exposure leads to photophobia, glare, and poor vision in patients with congenital or trauma-induced iris damage. Commercial artificial iris lenses are static in nature to provide aesthetics without restoring the natural iris's dynamic response to light. A new photo-responsive artificial iris was therefore developed using a photochromic material with self-adaptive l...
متن کاملEngineering of an Artificial Light-Modulated Potassium Channel
Ion Channel-Coupled Receptors (ICCRs) are artificial receptor-channel fusion proteins designed to couple ligand binding to channel gating. We previously validated the ICCR concept with various G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) fused with the inward rectifying potassium channel Kir6.2. Here we characterize a novel ICCR, consisting of the light activated GPCR, opsin/rhodopsin, fused with Kir6.2...
متن کاملArtificial Cells for Information Processing: Iris Classification
This paper presents a model in the Artificial Embryogene (AE) framework. The presented system tries to model the main functions of the biological cell model. The main part of this paper describes the Gene Regulatory Network (GRN) model, which has a similar processing information capacity as Boole’s Algebra. This paper also describes how to use it to perform the Iris Classification problem which...
متن کاملA light-driven artificial flytrap
The sophistication, complexity and intelligence of biological systems is a continuous source of inspiration for mankind. Mimicking the natural intelligence to devise tiny systems that are capable of self-regulated, autonomous action to, for example, distinguish different targets, remains among the grand challenges in biomimetic micro-robotics. Herein, we demonstrate an autonomous soft device, a...
متن کاملEngineering Artificial Cell Membranes
Growth and division are essential biological processes of cellular life. A crucial question concerning the origin of cellular life is how primitive cells (protocells) lacking complex biological machinery could grow and divide. To address this question, we first developed an effective method for preparing large monodisperse (uniform-sized) vesicles through a combination of extrusion and large-po...
