SMART PRIONS. “Prions are an even simpler infectious agent. While there is much less known about them than viruses, they also engage in complex behavior—exiting and entering of cells, foiling the immune system, multiplying and transporting themselves with immune cells or along neuron circuits and recruiting other proteins to form large structures.” https://lnkd.in/dKV3Xez View in LinkedIn

SMART VIRUSES. “A virus will perform a sequence of a dozen coordinated complex actions, each involving seeming intelligence. An example is the herpes virus—enters skin cell, fools nuclear pore, creates DNA machinery to reproduce, leaves cell to enter neuron, hijacks complex transport system, fools new nuclear pore, changes behavior to be quienscent, re activates, and again hijacks the transport system.” https://lnkd.in/dKV3Xez View in LinkedIn

EVIDENCE. “There is now increasing evidence that the clumping of proteins with prion like behavior is a more general phenomenon and important proteins that are involved in many of the major brain diseases have prion like behavior—Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and ALS.” https://lnkd.in/dKV3Xez View in LinkedIn

CLEAR MESSAGES. “Biological systems also rely upon the property of orthogonality of information in order to minimize the chance of improper interpretation of the genetic language. Control regions, such as the promoters, insulator and enhancer sequences, and the codons contained in each gene, must be represented in a non-trivial and unambiguous manner.” https://lnkd.in/dZN-i-F View in LinkedIn
