New Resource: Best Readings in Molecular Communication

We contributed to the online educational resource Best Readings in Molecular Communication, which has been issued by the IEEE Communications Society. It is a reading list of notable textbooks, special issues, and a selection of the most significant research papers in the field of molecular communication. Most of the listed resources are from within the last 10 years. The list was compiled to help newcomers to the field - both from within and outside the communications engineering community - become quickly familiar with the fundamentals and major advancements of molecular communication.

This resource was co-authored with Dadi Bi and Yansha Deng (King's College London) and Nan Yang (Australian National University).

Paper Accepted: A Survey of Molecular Communication in Cell Biology: Establishing a New Hierarchy for Interdisciplinary Applications

Our paper "A Survey of Molecular Communication in Cell Biology: Establishing a New Hierarchy for Interdisciplinary Applications" (open access DOI) was accepted for publication in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials. This paper bridges the gap between life sciences and communications engineering to promote the application of molecular communication as a methodology for applications that require communication between cells and other microscale devices. To do so, we propose a novel communication hierarchy for molecular communication signalling in cell biology. We map biological phenomena, research contributions, and open problems to the hierarchy. We also apply the hierarchy to case studies on quorum sensing, neuronal signalling, and communication via DNA. This paper was co-authored with Apostolos Almpanis from our group, in addition to Dadi Bi and Yansha Deng (King's College London), and Robert Schober (FAU, Germany).

Posted to arXiv: A Survey of Molecular Communication in Cell Biology: Establishing a New Hierarchy for Interdisciplinary Applications

Our paper "A Survey of Molecular Communication in Cell Biology: Establishing a New Hierarchy for Interdisciplinary Applications" has been posted to arXiv. This survey provides a hierarchical framework to model communication-based behaviour in cells. We use the framework to review instances of communication in cell biological systems and identify opportunities to control behaviour and design new systems. We also apply the hierarchy to case studies of quorum sensing, neuronal signalling, and communication via DNA. In particular, the hierarchy provides a roadmap to understand how cell behaviour is informed and constrained by the propagation of molecular signals and the physical mechanisms for detecting those signals. The survey was co-authored with Dadi Bi (King's College London), Apostolos Almpanis (Warwick), Yansha Deng (King's College London), and Robert Schober (FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany).
