This is not surprising since many key biological processes occur on surfaces, for example in epithelial layers (Lecuit and Lenne, 2007; Savaldi-Goldstein et al., 2007; Heller et al., 2014).
Riemann surfaces, for example, are two-dimensional manifolds.
We can manipulate surfaces, for example, be they kitchen counters or blouses or hair.
FSL-biotinylation of non-biological surfaces, examples.
Take the mysteries of biological life, for example.
Oxidized derivatives of cholesterol with biological activity, for example, as binding partners for nuclear receptors.
A person who understands biostatistics tackles computer malware like she would a biological disease, for example.
I imagine lab coats to be reserved for those scientists handling particular materials like chemicals or biological materials, for example.
Surface roughness parameters of pipette tips have significant influence on many applications, especially when pipettes are used in contact with vulnerable biological samples, for example, in patch-clamping experiments.
Quantifying data and results from body hacks and unifying platforms to aggregate raw data from different biological sensors, for example, seem like promising areas to explore.
