Living State Physics is a natural extension of Solid State Physics.

It is the physical study of building blocks and forces relevant to biological matter.

It is a branch of Biological Physics - the use of biosystems to study physics, complexity, physics of functions, and hopefully new concepts.

In biological textbooks the description of a cell cycle, in terms of morphological transitions and phases, sounds surprisingly easy. However regarding the functions of a living cell as collective phenomena of the constituent molecules, and considering that a living cell with receptors and ligands is a chemically open system working at nonstationary conditions, this question appears to be an interdisciplinary nightmare. This is one reason why we approach this system from the condensed matter side to delineate the physical components.

Apart from the biological and chemical aspects, living matter is also condensed and thus requires to be understood in terms of physics. How groups of molecules assemble, into different subcellular systems such as DNA and proteins and whole living cells (beings), is a problem area per se with a vast interface to condensed matter physics.
