Biosafety Issues in Laboratory Research

Dioxins is a compound family among persistent organic pollutants toxics produced by industrial wastes. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo -p-dioxin (TCDD) is a typical representative of dioxins, which not only exhibits systemic carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, immunotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, endocrine disruption and waste syndrome to humans, but also has effects on physiology and pathology of human ski...

GMO biosafety research in China.

Over the years, genetically modified organism (GMO) development and regulation in China have regularly attracted international attention. In the early 1990s, China became the first country to commercialize a genetically modified (GM) crop with planting of a virus-resistant transgenic tobacco variety on a relatively large scale, while other parts of the world were debating about the risks of GMO...

Initiating technical refinements in high-level golfers: Evidence for contradictory procedures.

When developing motor skills there are several outcomes available to an athlete depending on their skill status and needs. Whereas the skill acquisition and performance literature is abundant, an under-researched outcome relates to the refinement of already acquired and well-established skills. Contrary to current recommendations for athletes to employ an external focus of attention and a repre...

Biosafety Issues in Biotechnology and Engineering of Microorganisms

Currently much debate, attention and concern surrounds the use of genetically modified plants or animals. But there has not been much concern about microorganisms, although we all are aware of the place of microorganisms in the circle of life, their abundance and diversity. There are many examples regarding the application of genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs), however, like other hig...
