Artificial cells eavesdropping on HepG2 cells. [PDF]

open access: yesInterface Focus, 2023
Cellular communication is a fundamental feature to ensure the survival of cellular assemblies, such as multicellular tissue, via coordinated adaption to changes in their surroundings. Consequently, the development of integrated semi-synthetic systems consisting of artificial cells (ACs) and mammalian cells requires feedback-based ...

Synthetic Biology: A Bridge between Artificial and Natural Cells. [PDF]

open access: yesLife, 2014
Artificial cells are simple cell-like entities that possess certain properties of natural cells. In general, artificial cells are constructed using three parts: (1) biological membranes that serve as protective barriers, while allowing communication ...

Artificial Stem Cell Niches [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, 2009
AbstractStem cells are characterized by their dual ability to reproduce themselves (self‐renew) and specialize (differentiate), yielding a plethora of daughter cells that maintain and regenerate tissues. In contrast to their embryonic counterparts, adult stem cells retain their unique functions only if they are in intimate contact with an instructive ...

Construction of membrane-bound artificial cells using microfluidics: a new frontier in bottom-up synthetic biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The quest to construct artificial cells from the bottom-up using simple building blocks has received much attention over recent decades and is one of the grand challenges in synthetic biology.

FERROMAGNETIC ARTIFICIAL CELLS FOR ARTIFICIAL CIRCULATION

open access: yesASAIO Journal, 1996
It is known that deoxygenated blood is paramagnetic. A ferrofluidic actuator for an implantable artificial heart has been studied. The magnetic fluid consists of ferromagnetic magnetite particles (10 nm). If artificial cells encapsulating ferromagnetic particles are mixed in blood, the circulation is maintained by applying a magnetic field to the blood.

The Evolution of complexity in self-maintaining cellular information processing networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We examine the role of self-maintenance (collective autocatalysis) in the evolution of computational biochemical networks. In primitive proto-cells (lacking separate genetic machinery) self-maintenance is a necessary condition for the direct reproduction

Information Fusion for Anomaly Detection with the Dendritic Cell Algorithm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Dendritic cells are antigen presenting cells that provide a vital link between the innate and adaptive immune system, providing the initial detection of pathogenic invaders.

Suitability of a CMV/EGFP cassette to monitor stable expression from human artificial chromosomes but not transient transfer in the cells forming viable clones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Human artificial chromosomes (HACs) were generated by transfer of telomerized PAC constructs containing alpha satellite DNA of various human chromosomes. To monitor which cells took up constructs and subsequently formed stable clones under blasticidin S (

Selfishness versus functional cooperation in a stochastic protocell model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
How to design an "evolvable" artificial system capable to increase in complexity? Although Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection obviously offers a firm foundation, little hope of success seems to be expected from the explanatory adequacy of ...

Controlling the Bureaucracy of the Antipoverty Program [PDF]

open access: yes, 1966
Rapid progress made in various areas of regenerative medicine in recent years occurred both at the cellular level, with the Nobel prize-winning discovery of reprogramming (generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells) and also at the biomaterial ...
