3D Cell Pattern Generation in Artificial Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cell pattern formation has an important role in both artificial and natural development. This paper presents an artificial development model for 3D cell pattern generation based on the cellular automata paradigm. Cell replication is controlled by a genome consisting of an artificial regulatory network and a series of structural genes. The genome was evolved by a genetic algorithm in order to generate 3D cell patterns through the selective activation and inhibition of genes. Morphogenetic gradients were used to provide cells with positional information that constrained cellular replication in space. The model was applied to the problem of growing a solid French flag pattern in a 3D virtual space.

Gait Generation for a Bipedal System By Morris-Lecar Central Pattern Generator
The ability to move in complex environments is one of the most important features of humans and animals. In this work, we exploit a bio-inspired method to generate different gaits in a bipedal locomotion system. We use the 4-cell CPG model developed by Pinto [21]. This model has been established on symmetric coupling between the cells which are responsible for generating oscillatory signals. Th...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Anaglyph Anatomical Atlas of Rabbit as a New Generation of Printable 3D Anatomical Atlases
Introduction: To improve anatomical atlases, we tried to create a printable 3D atlas of rabbit's anatomy based on the Anaglyph. Methods: In this study, twenty white rabbits euthanized and dissected. All 3D images were reconstructed by means of "stereo photo maker (SPM®)" software. Results: By this atlas, users can easily understand nomenclature, the topography and, certainly, the transpo...

Azoospermia is one of the challenging disorders affecting couples who are afflicted with infertility. Human testisderivedcells (hTCs) are suitable candidates for the initiation of in-vitro spermatogenesis for these types of patients.The current study aimed to assess the proliferation of hTCs through the cell culture on the three-dimensional (3D) porousscaffolds. Cells harveste...
متن کاملExperimental and Theoretical Study on the Ability of Microbial Fuel Cell for Electricity Generation
The present study aims at designing a promising Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) to utilize wastewater in order to generate electricity. Two types of salt bridge have been used in MFC (KCl and NaCl). The maximum electricity generation with 1M KCl and NaCl has been 823 and 713 mV, respectively. Varied salt concentrations (0.5M, 1M, 2M, and 3M) of salt bridge in MFC have been analyzed with different fac...
