Agency, teleonomy and signal transduction in plant systems

Simon Gilroy et al.

Summary: Plants have remarkable regenerative and plastic capabilities to adapt to various hazards in their environment through purposive behavior and plasticity. They establish information exchange with bacterial and fungal symbionts to construct dynamic ecological niches. Shoot plasticity allows plants to respond adaptively to the environment for survival.

Bridging the explanatory gaps: What can we learn from a biological agency perspective?

Sonia E. Sultan et al.

Summary: This article highlights the explanatory gaps in prevailing gene-focused approaches in understanding phenotype determination, inheritance, and the origin of novel traits. By introducing the concept of biological agency, which refers to the capacity of living systems to regulate their own development and function, the article suggests a way to bridge these gaps. Agency does not imply intention or consciousness, but rather denotes an empirical property that can help to improve research programs in various scientific fields.

Bayes and Darwin: How replicator populations implement Bayesian computations

Daniel Czegel et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the similarities and differences between Bayesian learning theory and evolutionary theory at the computational and algorithmic-mechanical levels. It highlights the mathematical equivalences between their dynamic equations and explores the algorithmic equivalence between sampling approximation, particle filters, and the Wright-Fisher model of population genetics. The paper emphasizes the importance of the frequency distribution of types in replicator populations for predicting future environments.

Multi-scale Chimerism: An experimental window on the algorithms of anatomical control

Vasilios Nanos et al.

Summary: This review explores the importance of chimerism in understanding biological growth and form. Through experiments utilizing DNA transfer, cell transplantation, organ grafting, and parabiosis, the authors suggest that chimeras are a powerful tool for studying the relationship between component properties and large-scale anatomy.

An on-demand plant-based actuator created using conformable electrodes

Wenlong Li et al.

Summary: The study introduces a biohybrid actuator using a plant and an electrical interface, which achieves efficient and responsive actuation and can be wirelessly controlled via a smartphone. This actuator with adaptive interface properties can perform more delicate tasks than its rigid counterparts, with response times tunable to 1.3 seconds and a power input of only 10(-5) W, capable of grasping thin wires and capturing moving objects.

An agent-based model shows zombie ants exhibit search behavior

Natalie Imirzian et al.

Summary: Parasites can alter the behavior of animals, either as a byproduct of infection or actively controlled by the parasite. A study on ants infected with zombie ant fungi found that the ants display behavioral changes leading to death when biting into vegetation, with a model predicting how these changes occur. This suggests that such behavioral changes could evolve simply from the natural behavior of the host, challenging the hypothesis of highly directed manipulation.

Biomolecular Basis of Cellular Consciousness via Subcellular Nanobrains

Frantisek Baluska et al.

Summary: Cells are the fundamental building blocks of life on Earth, enclosed within a plasma membrane that distinguishes inside and outside domains. While unicellular organisms continue to live a cellular life, multicellular organisms have evolved into a multicellular existence. The Cellular Basis of Consciousness (CBC) model suggests that biological awareness, sentience, and consciousness are rooted in general cell biology, discussing the biomolecular structures and processes that support cellular consciousness from an evolutionary perspective.

The rise of the biocyborg: synthetic biology, artificial chimerism and human enhancement

Leo Pio-Lopez

Summary: Cyborgs are a hybrid of technology and the human body, with various types identified in literature including a proposed new type called the biocyborg. Biocyborgs introduce artificial chimerism and a non-Darwinian evolution, driven by a desire for enhancement and pushing physiological boundaries. Becoming a biocyborg comes with new vulnerabilities, posing multi-level risks that extend to the human species.

Kinematic self-replication in reconfigurable organisms

Sam Kriegman et al.

Summary: Research has found that synthetic multicellular assemblies have the ability to replicate kinematically by moving and compressing dissociated cells in their environment, a unique form of replication that arises spontaneously over days. Additionally, artificial intelligence methods can design assemblies to delay loss of replicative ability and perform useful work during replication, broadening our understanding of the conditions under which replication occurs and how useful replicative machines can be realized without genetic engineering.

Modelling ourselves: what the free energy principle reveals about our implicit notions of representation

Matt Sims et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the debate surrounding the Free Energy Principle in terms of representational interpretations, highlighting how different interpretations are dependent on varying assumptions about representation. By distinguishing four main notions of representation within the FEP, the paper explores how different aspects impact representational interpretations. It also emphasizes how FEP can serve as a unified view harmonizing concepts from traditionally separate ontologies.

Dual-responsive biohybrid neutrobots for active target delivery

Hongyue Zhang et al.

Summary: Neutrophil-based microrobots, constructed by phagocytosis of drug-loaded magnetic nanogels enveloped in Escherichia coli membrane, exhibit controllable intravascular movement and can autonomously aggregate in the brain by positive chemotactic motion along the gradient of inflammatory factors. These dual-responsive neutrobots show promise for targeted drug delivery to inhibit tumor cell proliferation compared to traditional drug injection, leveraging the biological characteristics of natural neutrophils that artificial microrobots cannot replicate.

Synthetic living machines: A new window on life

Mo R. Ebrahimkhani et al.

Summary: Increased control of biological growth and form is crucial for transformative medical advances, but gaps remain in our understanding of meso-scale rules of morphogenesis. The engineering approach of creating novel synthetic living forms extends available model systems and is essential for the next generation of synthetic biology. Emphasizing emergent self-organization, tissue-level guided self-assembly, and active functionality will greatly increase our understanding of evolutionary developmental and cell biology.

Toward a living soft microrobot through optogenetic locomotion control of Caenorhabditis elegans

Xianke Dong et al.

Summary: Researchers have created an untethered, highly controllable living soft microrobot called RoboWorm by engineering the genetic and nervous systems of a nematode worm. By reproducing the major crawling behaviors of the worm in a controlled manner, they have achieved closed-loop regulation of movement direction and destination of single worms. This technology may advance scientific studies on the biophysics and neural basis of crawling locomotion in C. elegans and other nematode species.
