Life sciences include such areas as biology, medicine, and ecology which study living organisms.
All the hip-cool scientists these days are enslaving living organisms to do their bidding.
ENGADGET: Platinum-coated virus to be used for speedy memory
Microscopic algae, the earliest living organisms, drew carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and expelled oxygen.
There remains, moreover, a potential for product liability in pediatric vaccines and the technical difficulties in growing living organisms.
However when living organisms are involved, what was once known may no longer be true.
FORBES: Can Knowledge Be Collected? Lessons From The Health Sector
These are highly complicated pieces of equipment almost as complicated as living organisms.
They are colonies of tiny living organisms, most commonly found in warm shallow waters in the tropics.
Like living organisms they depend heavily on the interactions of their environment for nourishment, growth and even survival.
Biomechanics is the term used to describe mechanical principles of living organisms.

The marine habitat is unique for the diversity of its living organisms.
Only living organisms, they argue, could have formed the crystals' long-chain structures.
Such self-healing materials mimic living organisms that can repair their tissues.
Otegui imagines (see photos) merging living organisms to form a complex skin which will absorb and then utilize the energy created by the sun and wind.
James Lovelock, who first proposed the Gaia theory, used an analogy with living organisms, all of which can, to some degree, regulate conditions within their own bodies.
ECONOMIST: An Australian scientist explores where we are now
Once emitted, it persists in the environment for a long time - circulating through air, water, soil and living organisms - and can be dispersed over vast distances.
Unlike Codexis, which deals in purified enzymes, Amyris employs a technique called synthetic biology, which turns living organisms into chemical reactors by assembling novel biochemical pathways within them.
The latest work on sea urchin growth rates uses measures of the isotope carbon-14, which has increased in all living organisms following the atmospheric testing of atomic weapons in the 1950s.

Living organisms have been found even in apparently inhospitable regions of the Earth, like the driest deserts or Antarctica, or near thermal vents in the black depths of the ocean.
Rather than find new techniques to carry out DNA computing, Dr Rozenberg believes that harnessing the information processing abilities of living organisms to tackle tricky computational problems could be more fruitful.
Voigt is at the forefront of a group of young researchers working to deliver on the profound promise of genetic engineering: Rebuilding living organisms to fight disease, make bio-fuels and solve industrial problems.
And so I came to suspect that the only truly believable computer program would be one able to ape life itself, since thinking as we know it exists only as a purposive tool of living organisms.
FORBES: Sorry, Jeopardy Watchers: No Computer Will Ever Be Remotely Human
Ever since Watson and Crick first described DNA, genetic research was built around what was known as "the central dogma"--genes, written in the DNA, were recipes for proteins, which in turn interacted with one another to form the working guts of living organisms.
FORBES: Sorry, Jeopardy Watchers: No Computer Will Ever Be Remotely Human
It commits member states to ensure the safe transfer, handling and use of what it calls LMOs, living modified organisms, known also as genetically modified organisms.
"We are hoping to locate multi-cellular organisms living in hot springs at temperatures well above the 150 degrees Fahrenheit that scientists now believe to be the upper limit at which that kind of life can exist, " Trent said.
Brinker stepped in and had the idea of extracting living cells from genetically modified organisms and grafting them onto the backs of cockroaches controlled by pheromones.
