Motility Control of Symbionts and Organelles by the Eukaryotic Cell: The Handling of the Motile Capacity of Individual Parts Forges a Collective Biological Identity
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-10)
Motility occupies a decisive role in an organism's ability to autonomously interact with its environment. However, collective biological organizations exhibit individual parts, which have temporally or definitively lost ...
Embodied Coordination and Psychotherapeutic Outcome: Beyond Direct Mappings
(Frontiers Media, 2018-06-23)
Adaptation to criticality through organizational invariance in embodied agents
(Nature Publishing, 2018-05-16)
Many biological and cognitive systems do not operate deep within one or other regime of activity. Instead, they are poised at critical points located at phase transitions in their parameter space. The pervasiveness of ...
¿Tiene futuro la vida sin pasado? El desdén de la evolución en biología sintética
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2016)
La biología sintética mantiene una relación
muy singular con la teoría evolutiva: por un
lado, parte de una interpretación ingenieril de la
evolución para fundar su aproximación al diseño
de bioartefactos; por otro, ...
Exploring Criticality as a Generic Adaptive Mechanism
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10-02)
The activity of many biological and cognitive systems is not poised deep within a specific regime of activity. Instead, they operate near points of critical behavior located at the boundary between different phases. Certain ...
Integrated Information in the Thermodynamic Limit
(International Neural Network Society, 2019-06)
The capacity to integrate information is a prominent feature of biological, neural, and cognitive processes. Integrated Information Theory (IIT) provides mathematical tools for quantifying the level of integration in a ...
Understanding Multicellularity: The Functional Organization of the Intercellular Space
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-18)
The aim of this paper is to provide a theoretical framework to understand how multicellular systems realize functionally integrated physiological entities by organizing their intercellular space. From a perspective centered ...
Glycemia Regulation: From Feedback Loops to Organizational Closure
(Frontiers Media, 2020-02-18)
Endocrinologists apply the idea of feedback loops to explain how hormones regulate certain bodily functions such as glucose metabolism. In particular, feedback loops focus on the maintenance of the plasma concentrations ...
The Origin of a Trans-Generational Organization in the Phenomenon of Biogenesis
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-24)
One of the central issues of the whole process of biogenesis is how to understand the progressive constitution of a large (in spatial and temporal terms) system that transcends the individual sphere of proto-metabolic ...
Interactive Models in Synthetic Biology: Exploring Biological and Cognitive Inter-Identities
(Frontiers Media, 2020-04-15)
The aim of this article is to investigate the relevance and implications of synthetic models for the study of the interactive dimension of minimal life and cognition, by taking into consideration how the use of artificial ...
