Autopoiesis and Deleuze
The autopoiesis theory of Maturana and Varela can surely be linked tp D&G's philosophy. Structural plasticity can be seen as the creation of differences.
Varela worked in Paris from 1980 until his death in 2003, I think. I have found no indications that Varela was knwon to Deleuze nor vice versa.
I have elaborated the implications of the biology and epistemology of autopoiesis for psychology as a science. It appeared in booklet. I can send it to you. It dates from 1986.
For a psychology of nomadisation based on D&G, see my website:

Still learning how to use this site. Had never even read a blog till recently. Eric Rossel mentions autopoiesis. Varela certainly knew of Deleuze and was on close terms with Guattari. Guattari of course develops the concept of autopoiesis in 'Chaosmosis'.
