Interestingly, some of the first interdisciplinary collaborations on Overleaf[1] were between computational biologists (who tended to write up their papers in LaTeX) working with non-computational biologists (who tended to use Word), helped partly by the Rich Text mode we built[2] which hides (most of) the LaTeX code for those who prefer to edit in a more WYSIWYG-style environment.
We continue to see strong use in this area today, and indeed there seems to be a growing trend for interdisciplinary collaborations (I'm one of the founders, and we started it very much as a side project between mathematicians needing to collaborate in LaTeX!).
It's also great to see that some of the newest innovations in publishing platforms are in the (computational) life sciences area too, e.g. F1000Research[3] (which offers open, post-publication peer review) and PeerJ[4] (which has a membership model but no fee to publish).
