![]() Non-living molecules solve some of the problems of live cells, but have weak output signals and are difficult to fine-tune and regulate. Live cells can feed themselves and can heal, but it can be difficult to redirect cells from their ordinary functions toward computation. Through the use of biological molecules such as DNA or proteins, biocomputing has the potential to overcome these limitations.īiocomputing is typically done either with live cells or with non-living, enzyme-free molecules. Computerized implants require a constant supply of electricity, they can cause scarring in soft tissue that makes them unusable and they cannot heal themselves the way organisms can. ![]() ![]() ![]() Traditional computer hardware is limited in its ability to interface with living organs, which has constrained the development of medical devices. ![]()
