  • A Control-Theoretic Model for Bidirectional Molecular Communication Systems

    Kotsuka T., Hori Y.

    IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications （IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications)  9 （ 3 ） 274 - 285 2023.09

    　View Summary

    Molecular communication (MC) enables cooperation of spatially dispersed molecular robots through the feedback control mediated by diffusing signal molecules. However, conventional analysis frameworks for the MC channels mostly consider the dynamics of unidirectional communication, lacking the effect of feedback interactions. In this paper, we propose a general control-theoretic modeling framework for bidirectional MC systems capable of capturing the dynamics of feedback control via MC in a systematic manner. The proposed framework considers not only the dynamics of molecular diffusion but also the boundary dynamics at the molecular robots that captures the lag due to the molecular transmission/reception process affecting the performance of the entire feedback system. Thus, methods in control theory can be applied to systematically analyze various dynamical properties of the feedback system. We perform a frequency response analysis based on the proposed framework to show a general design guideline for MC channels to transfer signal with desired control bandwidth. Finally, these results are demonstrated by showing the step-by-step design procedure of a specific MC channel satisfying a given specification.

  • L-2L ladder digital-to-analogue converter for dynamics generation of chemical concentrations

    Chatani T., Shiraishi S., Miyazako H., Onoe H., Hori Y.

    Royal Society Open Science （Royal Society Open Science)  10 （ 4 ）  2023.04

    　View Summary

    Cellular response to dynamic chemical stimulation encodes rich information about the underlying reaction pathways and their kinetics. Microfluidic chemical stimulators play a key role in generating dynamic concentration waveforms by mixing several aqueous solutions. In this article, we propose a multi-layer microfluidic chemical stimulator capable of modulating chemical concentrations by a simple binary logic based on the electronic-hydraulic analogy of electronic R-2R ladder circuits. The proposed device, which we call L-2L ladder digital-to-analogue converter (DAC), allows us to systematically modulate 2n levels of concentrations from single sources of solution and solvent by a single operation of 2n membrane valves, which contrasts with existing devices that require complex channel geometry with multiple input sources and valve operations. We fabricated the L-2L ladder DAC with n = 3 bit resolution and verified the concept by comparing the generated waveforms with computational simulations. The response time of the proposed DAC was within the order of seconds because of its simple operation logic of membrane valves. Furthermore, detailed analysis of the waveforms revealed that the transient concentration can be systematically predicted by a simple addition of the transient waveforms of 2n = 6 base patterns, enabling facile optimization of the channel geometry to fine-tune the output waveforms.

    Proceedings of IFAC World Congress  2023

    　View Summary

    We recapitulate the notion of phase change rate maximization and demonstrate
    the usefulness of its solution on analyzing the robust instability of a cyclic
    network of multi-agent systems subject to a homogenous multiplicative
    perturbation. Subsequently, we apply the phase change rate maximization result
    to two practical applications. The first is a magnetic levitation system, while
    the second is a repressilator with time-delay in synthetic biology.
