37、lds most complex biological computer, made from a group of engineered cells,could one day be implanted into the body to detect diseases and deliver treatments.In an early research in 2012, Martin Fussenegger at ETH Zurish in Switzerland and hiscolleagues engineered two kidney cells to become a biolo
38、gical circuit capable of simplemathematics. One of the cells was able to calculate addition: the presence or absence of each oftwo chemicals would switch on a reaction inside the cell that would make it shine different colors.The other cell worked in the same way but could substract amounts. This ki
39、nd of biological circuitresembles a simple logic circuit in a computer. In theory, it could be used to indicate the presenceof an infectious substance while in fact it failed.Most biological reactions in the body arent that simple, though. They rarely rely on “oneinput and one output”-instead, multi
40、ple inputs lead to different outputs. For instance, a highlevel of calcium in the body in the presence of a specific hormone may suggest one disease, but a high level of calcium along with another hormone might indicate a completely different condition.To be more practical, biological computers need
41、 to be able to perform more complexmathematics. However, it is hard to pack multiple calculations into a single cell. To get around this,Fussenegger and his team have engineered a multi-cellular system, in which different cells eachperform a separate calculation and pass on the results to each other
42、.The system has nine cells, each containing a biochemical reaction that responds to threechemical inputs-similar to an AND, NOT and OR system in a traditional electronic circuit.These cells coordinate their activities by releasing chemicals that pass from one cell to the other.Together, they form a
43、fully biological circuit that can respond to multiple inputs.“Although it is not at a stage yet where we can test on animals, we believe it is the mostcomplex biological computer ever assembled,” says Fussenegger. “This work addresses one of themajor limitations in synthetic biology (合成生物学)-a lack o

He says that Fusseneggers multicellular approach enables you to programme the circuit and achieve differentcalculations just by connecting the nine cells in different configurations(设置).In the future,
45、a biological computer like this could be used to monitor more complex medicalconditions. For example, it could respond to a rise in calcium, a drop in a hormone and an increasein a biomarker, which together would signal the presence of a specific type of cancer, helpdiagnose it and alert the user to
46、 seek appropriate treatment.61.

The indication of infectious substances became a reality.C. Engineered kidney cells could switch on biologica
48、l reactions.D. Certain cells were made capable of performing mathematics解析：首先找到定位词“Fusseneggers early research”定位到文章第二段。文中原文“MartinFussenegger at ETH Zurish in Switzerland and his colleagues engineered twokidneycells to become a biological circuit capable of simple mathematics”因此前期研究是做出了能够进行数学计算的细胞回
