We introduce bounded asynchrony, a notion of concurrency tailored to the modeling of biological cell-cell interactions. Bounded asynchrony is the result of a scheduler that bounds the number of steps that one process gets ahead of other processes; this all ...
Recombinant therapeutic proteins produced in mammalian cells represent a major class of biopharmaceuticals. In recent years, their demand has increased dramatically and is now driving the development of a variety of improvements to maximize their expressio ...
A data storage device such as a DRAM memory having a plurality of data storage cells 10 is disclosed. Each data storage cell 10 has a physical parameter which varies with time and represents one of two binary logic states. A selection circuit 16, writing c ...
The sizing process of a supercapacitive tank is today a well-known procedure. It enables the identification of the number of cells needed to match energy requirements. In some cases, this number must be increased, in order to match the power needs of the a ...
We present a model for the self-organized formation of place cells, head-direction cells, and spatial-view cells in the hippocampal formation based on unsupervised learning on quasi-natural visual stimuli. The model comprises a hierarchy of Slow Feature An ...
Crawling cell motility is characteristic of most animal cells and is involved in many important biological processes such as embryogenesis, immune response, and wound healing. It involves several steps: protrusion (dynamic surface extension) at the front o ...
In this contribution we present the development of three microfabricated devices for the study of neuronal and cellular networks. Together, these devices form an attractive toolbox, which is useful to stimulate and record signals of both electrical and che ...
The invention relates to a device for dispensing droplets comprising a first channel (8, 10), known as the main channel, for circulating a first liquid flow, a second channel (12, 13) for circulating fluid, forming an intersection area (27) with the first ...
Super Paramagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) com-bined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are under clinical evaluation to enhance detection of neurodegenerative diseases. A major improvement would be to link therapeutic drugs to the SPIONs to a ...
Asynchronous and synchronous calcium oscillations occur in a variety of cells. A well-established pathway for intercellular communication is provided by gap junctions which connect adjacent cells and can mediate electrical and chemical coupling. Several ex ...
