What if life is not carbon-based? Can life exist as a gas or a plasma? Could planets or stars in some sense be alive? What about an interstellar cloud? Could life exist on such a small or large scale, or move so fast or so slowly that we wouldn't recognize it? Could you have an intelligent virus?

You take a tube of the patient's blood, extracting platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, from it. It's yellow in color, but it does all kinds of good things for the body: It speeds up healing, fills out the face. I spray it into wounds and use it in rhinoplasty.

I love ocean life. I'm fascinated that so much of it remains unexplored by human beings. Diluted seawater consisted of nearly the same concentration of elements and minerals as blood plasma. They've got the same amount of sodium, too.

Even if you sell the same number of plasma televisions - if you are selling them for 20 or 30 or 40 per cent of the original price, your revenue goes down, and the profit goes with it.

I relate more to the fact that 80-inch plasma has just started to become ubiquitous and in people's homes the fairly decent 5.1 sound system and the big screen isn't that out of reach.

I go to Shenzhen, China, and am taken to a vast luxury spa with a hundred leather recliners and a hundred accompanying plasma screen televisions bolted to the ceiling.

Thus I was able to make pioneering measurements of the height and physical scale of plasma clouds in the ionosphere and also to estimate wind speeds in this region.

Concentrated serum albumin fractionated from blood plasma was effective in battlefield treatment of shock.

Plasma in medicine refers to a crucial part of blood that can be donated to save lives.

Life-saving Component

In medical contexts, ensure 'plasma' isn't confused with 'plasma TVs' or 'plasma physics'.

Not Always Blood-related

In physics, 'plasma' is the fourth state of matter with charged particles, unlike solids, liquids, or gases.

Electrically Charged

Plasma is often associated with high temperatures or energy, like stars or neon signs.

High-energy State

In technology, 'plasma' refers to a display type known for vibrant colors and wide viewing angles.

Visual Technology

Be aware 'plasma' TVs are less common now, having been largely replaced by LCDs and LEDs.

Obsolete Tech

Distinguish between 'plasma' and 'serum'; the latter is plasma without clotting agents.

 This organ makes everything from various blood plasma proteins that transport fatty acids and help form blood clots, to the cholesterol that helps the body create hormones. It also makes vitamin D and substances that help digestion. But one of its most vital products is bile. Like an eco-friendly treatment plant,

 Immunoassays are especially important when it comes to retroactively diagnosing people who were infected but went untested. And there’s exciting potential for those who have developed immunity to a in some cases, their blood plasma could be used as treatment in people who are currently fighting it.

 There was no one there to look at treatment approaches. No one to look at the diagnostics. No one to figure out what tools should be used. As an example, we could have taken the blood of survivors, processed it, and put that plasma back in people to protect them.

 it doesn't look or behave any differently. And with the exception of a compass or other magnetic object, we rarely see matter respond to a magnetic field. But put a plasma in an electric field or magnetic field, and you'll get a very different reaction.

 And it also suggests that there is something not only in young mouse plasma, but in young human plasma that has the capacity to help this old brain. So to summarize, we find the old mouse, and its brain in particular, are malleable.
