TLDR
The results of a simulation study show that IDTC-SC provides the maximum data rate when tissues experience frequent deformation, and a number of transmission protocols are proposed; nanomachines can utilize these to communicate using Ca2+ signaling.Abstract:
Molecular communications is a new paradigm that enables nanomachines to communicate within a biological environment. One form of molecular communications is calcium (Ca 2+ ) signaling, which occurs naturally in living biological cells. Ca 2+ signaling enables cells in a tightly packed tissue structure to communicate at short ranges with neighboring cells. The achievable mutual information of Caa 2+ signaling between tissue embedded nanomachines is investigated in this paper, focusing in particular on the impact that the deformation of the tissue structure has on the communication channel. Based on this analysis, a number of transmission protocols are proposed; nanomachines can utilize these to communicate using Ca 2+ signaling. These protocols are static time-slot configuration, dynamic time-slot configuration, dynamic time-slot configuration with silent communication, and improved dynamic time-slot configuration with silent communication (IDTC-SC). The results of a simulation study show that IDTC-SC provides the maximum data rate when tissues experience frequent deformation.read more

Minimal model for signal-induced Ca2+ oscillations and for their frequency encoding through protein phosphorylation.
TL;DR: Results indicate that repetitive Ca2+ spikes evoked by external stimuli do not necessarily require the concomitant, periodic variation of InsP3, and might be effectively encoded in terms of their frequency through the phosphorylation of a cellular substrate by a protein kinase activated by cytosolic Ca2+.
