Engineered implementations of spatial computation in biological systems
The field of biological computation has advanced significantly by leveraging natural cellular processes for sophisticated information processing. This review explores how spatially distributed and compartmentalised frameworks for engineered biological computation move beyond traditional single-cell logic systems. By emulating natural phenomena such as morphogen gradients and cellular compartmentalisation, synthetic spatial computing systems have the potential to achieve scalability, robustness, and adaptability. By integrating spatial and adaptive computation, synthetic biology can tackle complex computational challenges that move beyond traditional computing architectures, paving the way for novel therapeutic, environmental, and diagnostic tools.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology is a review journal dedicated to keeping scientists informed of developments in the field of molecular cell and developmental biology, on a topic by topic basis. Each issue is thematic in approach, devoted to an important topic of interest to cell and developmental biologists, focusing on the latest advances and their specific implications.
The aim of each issue is to provide a coordinated, readable, and lively review of a selected area, published rapidly to ensure currency.
