Communication with the environment is an essential characteristic of the living cell, even
more when considering the origins and evolution of multicellularity. A number of changes …

The adaptive relationship with the environment is a sine qua non condition for any intelligent
system. Discussions on the nature of cellular intelligence, however, have not systematically …

Bioinformatics, the application of computer science to biological problems, is a central
feature of post-genomic science which grew rapidly during the 1990s and 2000s. Post …

Bioinformatics, a specialism propelled into relevance by the Human Genome Project and the
subsequent-omic turn in the life science, is an interdisciplinary field of research. Qualitative …

Psychiatric genetics has become 'Big Biology'. This may come as a surprising development

Aging is a major risk factor for chronic diseases, which in turn can provide information about
the aging of a biological system. This publication serves as an introduction to systems …

The study of tissue P systems was initiated in [6], inspired from the way neurons cooperate,
processing impulses in the complex net established by synapses. These systems use …

By approaching the concept of Natural Intelligence a new path may be open in a variety of

The “classical” model of P systems was introduced by Gheorghe PĂun in 1998; this model
with symbol objects was shown to be computationally universal in [8], provided that catalysts …

Adaptive behavior in unicellular organisms (ie, bacteria) depends on highly organized
networks of proteins governing purposefully the myriad of molecular processes occurring …
