Item Open Access Antennas reconfigured by living cells: AntennAlive(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-09-21) Erden, O. K.; Bilir, A.; Karabulut, Ç.; Şeker, Urartu Özgür Şafak; Dumanlı, S.Reconfiguring the pattern or operating frequency of antennas/resonators is an established field of research. However, until now, reconfiguration using living cells (bacterial or mammalian) has never been considered. In this study, a bio-hybrid implant antenna reconfigured by engineered bacteria or muscle tissue and a pair of on-body reader antennas, that monitors the bio-hybrid device (AntennAlive), is proposed. AntennAlive will enable gateways between living cells that communicate at the nanoscale and the electronic devices that operate at the human scale. It will be used to transform signals received from the living cells through Molecular Nano Communication Networks (MNCN) to Body Area Networks (BAN) that will be used to transfer information to machines and/or humans.Item Open Access A multiscale communications system based on engineered bacteria(IEEE, 2021-06-03) Sezgen, O. F.; Altan, Ö.; Bilir, A.; Durmaz, M. G.; Hacıosmanoğlu, Nedim; Camlı, B.; Canbek Özdil, Z. C.; Pusane, A. E.; Yalçınkaya, A. D.; Şeker, Urartu Özgur Şafak; Tuğcu, T.; Dumanlı, S.Although molecular communication systems have been shown to bear great potential for many useful in-body applications, they require the intervention, action, or input of an out-of-body actor. From an Internet of Bio-Nano Things perspective, a successful overall network aims to bring together the two links belonging to the in-body and out-of-body networks for end-to-end communications. For most applications, the uplink from the in-body sensor is more significant since it provides the multi-scalar connection required to relay the information sensed and carried by the molecular communication system to a macro-scale smart terminal. This article proposes two different mechanisms to sense the output of the molecular communication system and transmit the information to an on-body reader. Each mechanism involves different genetically engineered bacteria and specific antenna designs. An experimental setup is provided to demonstrate each proposed concept. The results constitute a proof of concept to detect the in-body bacterial activity from the on-body reader.
