Programming Biological Cells

چکیده
It appears that biological organisms can be harnessed as substrates for computation. Biological cells possess important characteristics, such as energy efficiency, selfreproduction, and miniature scale, that make them attractive for many applications. Examples include embedded intelligence in materials, sensing, smart medicine, and nanoscale fabrication. Vast numbers of programmed cells executing in parallel will enable cheap computation. This abstract argues that individual cells are programmable, and presents a programming paradigm for colonies of cells.

I-40: Male Genome Programming, Infertility and Cancer
Background: During male germ cells differentiation, genomewide re-organizations and highly specific programming of the male genome occur. These changes not only include the large-scale meiotic shuffling of genes, taking place in spermatocytes, but also a complete “re-packaging” of the male genome in post meiotic cells, leading to a highly compacted nucleo-protamine structure in the mature sperm...
متن کاملVirtual manufacturing cells scheduling considering lotstreaming and sequence dependent setup times
In this paper, a new mathematical model for the problem of job scheduling in virtual manufacturing cells (VMC) is presented to minimizing the completion time of all jobs. Sequence dependent setup times of machines is considered and lot-streaming is possible. In Virtual manufacturing cells, each job has a different processing path and there is a set of machines for processing each operation. The...

متن کاملOptimized primary culture and subculture of granulosa cells
Background: Primordial follicle includes an oocyte surrounded by a layer of somatic cells called granulosa cells (GCs). GCs, also known as nurse cells, are an important protective element for the growth and survival of oocytes. Oocytes, which lack some of the metabolic processes required granulosa cells for their development. Objective: This manuscript has been provided to explain the protocol...
متن کاملUp-regulation of miR-21 decreases chemotherapeutic effect of dendrosomal curcumin in breast cancer cells
Objective(s): Despite the good results of anticancer activities by curcumin, there are some hurdles that limit the use of curcumin as an anticancer agent. Many methods were examined to overcome this defect like the use of the dendrosomal curcumin (DNC). There is increasing evidence that miRNAs play important roles in biological processes. In this study, we focus on the roles of microRNA-21 in t...
