Soft-condensed matter physics has made significant impact in the fields of colloids, polymers, and liquid crystals (among many other interesting topics). Here I show how governing concepts from soft matter can impact unsolved problems in biomedicine, such as auto-immune diseases (psoriasis, lupus, where the immune system attacks the host), infectious diseases (viral and bacterial infections), and mitochondrial pathologies (under-regulated apoptosis leads to neurodegenerative diseases whereas over-regulated apoptosis leads to cancer.)
