With lessons learned from computers, a new platform could help boost production of lifesaving biological therapies
The project, called Station B, aims to develop an end-to-end platform to help scientists more efficiently and predictably channel the power of life's ultimate information processing machines: living cells.
Researchers build nanoscale distributed DNA computing systems from artificial protocells
Living cells communicate with each other by sending and receiving molecular signals that diffuse between neighboring cells to activate key molecular processes. This communication enables cell populations to implement collective information processing functions that cannot be achieved by individual cells…
