Biomimetics: A Biosemiotic View

Kull, Kalevi

Pages: 3 –17

[After giving a brief review of different approaches related to biomimetics, we focus on the question of the general mechanisms of problem-solving and self-building in living systems. It is possible to develop a theory of biomimetics in connection with a semiotic approach to understand the...

Medical Biotechnology and Biomimetics: Prospects and Challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa

Michael, Obaro S.

Pages: 19 –27

[Advancements at the interphase of engineering and biology have produced disciplines that include Biotechnology and Biomimetics. These new disciplines proffer exciting solutions to real life problems. New technologies are available for the purification of water and treatment of sewage; challenges...

Biomimetics and Its Influence in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Weyand, Birgit; Vogt, Peter

Pages: 29 –43

[The term “biomimetics” has evolved from technical achievements based on principles found in nature. Some of its general features are found in the four areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery: reconstruction, burns, hand and aesthetic surgery. A plastic surgeon mimics concepts of nature by...

Torsional Magnetic Angle for Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense

Strauß, Sarah; Israelowitz, Meir; Weyand, Birgit; Müller, Robert; Thomas, Henkel; Schüler, Dirk; Uebe, René; Rizvi, Syed W. H.; Gille, Christoph; von Schroeder, Herbert P.; Reimers, Kerstin; Vogt, Peter

Pages: 47 –59

[In the present study we tested magnetosomes isolated from the magnetic bacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense for their magnetic qualities when embedded in three different environmental surroundings: (1) medium (Phosphate buffer saline PBS), (2) gelatin gel matrix and as (3) powder. (3) is...

Spider Silk as Biomaterial for Medical Applications and Tissue Engineering

Fließ, Malte; Strauß, Sarah

Pages: 61 –69

[A spider is capable of producing 7 different subtypes of threads, each of which fulfilling highly specialized, biological functions that has been developed over 500 million years of evolution. Due to its mechanical and biological characteristics spider silk (especially the dragline) is in focus...

The Innovative Power of the Electric Eel (Electrophorus electricus)

Gifford, Jenifer; Leming, Matthew

Pages: 71 –79

[Electrogenic fishes have the unique ability to generate electrical discharges from specialized organs composed of electrocytes. These electrical discharges can be used for predatory behavior, inter-/intra- species communication, and electrolocation capabilities. Electrophorus electricus, more...

Morphological Study of the Infrared Sensory Pits of Pit Viper, Python and Boa Snakes

Weyand, Birgit; Israelowitz, Meir; Reuter, Matthias; Bohlmann, Sabine; Wagner, Robert; Rizvi, Syed W. H.; Gille, Chistoph; Reimers, Kerstin; Vogt, Peter; von Schroeder, Herbert P.

Pages: 81 –103

[Different families of snakes possess specialized infrared sensory organs which have evolved for thermoregulation as well as prey and predator detection. The sensor, a specialized “pore” found in the keratinized epidermal layer, is activated by infrared thermal radiation and transmits signals via...

Optical Oxygen Measurements Within Cell Tissue Using Phosphorescent Microbeads and a Laser for Excitation

Schmälzlin, Elmar; Nöhre, Mariel; Weyand, Birgit

Pages: 107 –129

[In the field of tissue engineering, spherical phosphorescent microprobes are well suited to quantify the oxygen content in close proximity to the cells during their growth phase. When using standard seed trays like glass dishes, probe excitation and signal acquisition can be realized by applying...

Emerging Biomimetic Approaches in the Optimization of Drug Therapies

Michael, Obaro S.

Pages: 131 –145

[Pharmacology is the study of drug action and applications in living organisms. A significant aspect of pharmacology is the use of natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic products in the prophylaxis or treatment of disease. Observations from nature are increasingly being adopted and adapted to...

Biomimetics Strategies to Overcoming Noise

Rizvi, Syed W. H.; Weyand, Birgit; Israelowitz, Meir; Gille, Christoph; Reuter, Matthias; Bohlmann, Sabine; Reimers, Kerstin; Vogt, Peter; von Schroeder, Herbert P.

Pages: 147 –156

[Noise is considered an artefact, in the practical use it is overcome by cool down the system in general at 77 K. We consider three biological examples which overcome noise by filtering the ratio between the signals and noise by using a distribution system. Noise is considered here in statistical...
