Features: If the latter half of the 20th century was the information age, then the first half of the 21st century will be dominated by life sciences. The human body has evolved over millions of years to form highly efficient, waste-minimized, precise, and optimized organ configurations. A few human cells can ultimately produce astonishingly diverse tissues and organs. Scientists are now using techniques such as high-resolution X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance to study the wonders of life. This book will introduce you to the latest research progress in the field of life sciences in an easy-to-understand language.
