[Liquid crystals (mesophases) in the human body]

Area of Science:

• Biophysics
• Biochemistry
• Pathology

Background:

• The liquid crystal state (LCS) of biomacromolecules and polymesomorphism are implicated in human diseases.
• Mesophases are associated with the pathogenesis of a spectrum of diseases.
• Evidence suggests mesophases play a role in cellular pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

• To consider the role of biomacromolecular liquid crystal states and polymesomorphism in human pathological processes.
• To discuss diseases associated with mesophases and their cellular pathology.
• To explore the influence of LCS on disorders under space flight conditions and highlight the need for diagnostic studies.

Main Methods:

• Literature review on biomacromolecular liquid crystals and disease.
• Analysis of existing evidence on mesophase participation in cellular pathology.
• Discussion of potential LCS influence on space flight-related disorders.

Main Results:

• The study considers the involvement of liquid crystal states in various pathological processes.
• A spectrum of diseases linked to mesophases and cellular pathology is discussed.
• Potential effects of LCS on disorders during space flight are mentioned.

Conclusions:

• Understanding the phase composition and structure of biological liquid crystals is essential.
• Studying LCS is vital for addressing diagnostic and prognostic challenges in medicine.
• Further research into biomacromolecular mesophases can advance medical diagnostics.
