We discus legal status of plants obtained using NBT: whether they are to be treated as GMOs or not. The conclusion may have a negative impact on the development of research on them and their practical use. The problem of the application of provisions on GMOs in relation to the products of some of the NBT has been the subject of the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in Case...
The cultivation of genetically modified crops has long been a contentious issue in the European Union. Now a group of biotech specialists and legal experts propose a mechanism to take the political edge out of the authorization process.
The production of domestic protein for feed in Poland is insufficient. The import of feed raw materials, especially soybean, which is genetically modified (GM) is necessity. In 2016, Poland imported about 2 million tonnes of GM soybean. In Poland was introduced a ban for using and production of GM feed (Law – animal feed from 2006). This ban has already been suspended few times, mainly due to the...
”Bio” technologies are significant for the future prospects and for knowledge based bioeconomy in general. In the article we examine two areas of problems – one connected to the issue of use of genetic resources and traditional knowledge and another – connected to new plant breeding techniques. We examine whether the law is up to date with the developments in the area of biotechnology and if there...
Bioeconomy and circular economy are lately buzzing words in political as well as in academic groups. Both of those ideas are based on biotechnology knowledge and they are assuming implementation of new, environmental-friendly technologies, which should contribute to reduction of fossil fuels usage and creation of job opportunities in country as well as urban areas. Furthermore in both – European frame...
Genetically modified plants are critically important for the future bioeconomy in Poland as well as in United Europe. We observe discussions and polemics all around Europe concerning potential risk related to the effects of GM plants, particularly connected with environment, receiving organisms and long term effects. Any reproducible scientific data describing negative effects are available. However,...
Education is a key to understand and accept innovative technology, like genetic engineering. Depending on the level of education 8 to 42 % of Polish people are interested in GMO, but 74% are not satisfied with available sources of information concerning this issue.
A short historical description of Polish contribution to astronomy and rocket technology is given. Then Polish activities in field of space exploration, such as instrument designed and build in Poland and placed on board of rockets, satellites and space probes during last 50 years are described. Contributions of the Space Research Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences as well as astronomical discoveries...
In his paper perspective and conditions for the development of biotechnology is presented within the context of legislation, public opinion as well as present situation in Poland, EU and in the Word. Formation of bioeconomy in Poland Leeds industrial biotechnology in all sectors: agriculture, industry and medicine.
Modulation and regulation of biosynthesis process by means of antisense oligonucleotides lay the foundation for new therapeutic strategies, among others against cancer, viral or angiogenesis diseases. The aim of this account is the presentation of molecular basis of antisense strategy and mechanism of action of antisense oligonucleotides. Furthermore we present the state of art in clinical studies...
