Biological computing with diffusion and excitable calcium stores
Intracellular signaling often employs excitable stores of calciumcoupled by diffusion. We investigate the ability of various geometric configurations of such excitable stores to generate a complete set of logic gatesfor computation. We also describe how the mechanism of excitable calcium-induced calci...

| description | Intracellular signaling often employs excitable stores of calciumcoupled by diffusion. We investigate the ability of various geometric configurations of such excitable stores to generate a complete set of logic gatesfor computation. We also describe how the mechanism of excitable calcium-induced calcium release can be used for constructing coincidence detectors forbiological signals. |
