A proposition of Intra-and Interspecies Cell-Cell Communication System

Abstract

All living organisms depend on highly complex networks of intercellular signals to coordinate cell-cell communication in various physiological functions. A large number of mechanisms that rely only on cell signaling are capable of development, collective behavior, self-repair and immunity. This abstract proposes the use of an ANN-based GRN model to orchestrate cell-cell communication in two contexts: unicellular organism via Quorum Sensing and multicellular organisms via Notch signaling pathway. A simple grammar inspired from membrane computing is proposed to describe the dynamic cell-like structure.
