Abstract

Stable cell-like multisomes encapsulating the chemical oscillator Belousov-Zhabotinsky were engineered and organized in a linear network of diffusively-coupled chemical oscillators by using microfluidics. The multi-compartmentalization and the spatial configuration resulted in a new global synchronization scenario. After an initial induction interval, all the oscillators started to pulsate in phase with a halved period with respect to the natural one.

摘要

采用微流控技术，工程化设计了包含 Belousov-Zhabotinsky 化学振荡器的稳定细胞样多联体，并将其组织成一个弥散耦合的化学振荡器线性网络。这种多隔室化和空间配置导致了一种新的全局同步场景。在初始诱导间隔之后，所有振荡器都开始以相对于自然周期减半的周期同步脉动。
