A study from scientists at the Incheon National University engineers a programmable DNA-based microfluidic chip that can be controlled by a simple smart phone to perform DNA calculations. Thoughts health innovators?

Biocomputing is a highly sustainable burgeoning area where biological materials are used to perform computational functions. These materials are environmentally friendly, cheap, and maybe capable of providing mass storage for millions of years. A natural choice for biological computing materials, information-encoded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strands provide a parallel computing process via the…

Scientists turn mammalian cells into complex biocomputers

Computer hardware is getting a softer side. A research team has come up with a way of genetically engineering the DNA of mammalian cells to carry out complex computations, in effect turning the cells into biocomputers. The group hasn’t put those modified cells to work in useful ways yet, but down the road researchers hope the new programming techniques will help improve everything from cancer therapy to on-demand tissues that can replace worn-out body parts.

ECUST develops the first three-component artificial immune system using DNA-computers. The system can recognize, neutralize and memorize a pathogen via DNA nanomachines which simulate three different types of immune cells. Thoughts health innovators?

It is known that the immune system is a highly adaptive line of defense in the body consisting of a network of cells and proteins that guard against infection, whilst memorizing past encounters with said pathogens. It is this complex recognition and immune memory that surpasses any pre-existing technology, providing the inspiration for artificial immune systems, a class of artificially…

Artificial protein builds autonomous circuits to control any cellular process. Thoughts health innovators?

Bio-computers use systems of biologically derived molecules, such as DNA and proteins, to build circuitry inside cells which can perform computational calculations involving storing, retrieving, and processing data. In turn it is hoped these ‘smart cells’ will lead to smart drugs, living computers inside the body which are able to monitor, target and treat the host body and disease autonomously.…
