SUMMARY:Encoding and Decoding of Molecular Information in Distributed Cell
 ular Systems with Feedback Control - Madan Rao (National Centre for Biolog
 ical Sciences)
DTSTART:20230904T144000Z

UID:TALK203809@talks.cam.ac.uk
DESCRIPTION:It is often useful to think about Cells and Tissues as Distrib
 uted Computing Systems with Feedback Control\, especially in the context o
 f the processing of noisy molecular information. I will illustrate this in
  two parts. In the first\, I will talk about cellular compartmentalisation
  and receptor promiscuity as a strategy for accurate inference of position
  during Morphogenesis. In the second\, I will discuss the synthesis of a c
 omplex Glycan code in the Golgi cisternae\, and how cisternal number and e
 nzyme promiscuity achieves the target distribution with high fidelity.
