I. INTRODUCTION The term "biotechnology" was coined in 1919 by Karl Ereky, (1) a Hungarian engineer. As generally understood, the term "biotechnology" refers to the use of living organisms or their products to modify human health and/or the human environment typically by using the techniques...
The term ‘biotechnology’ was coined by the Hungarian Karl Ereky [1] in 1919, the same year that Pfizer became the first company to commercialise a product manufactured by the controlled fermentation of a mould. The product Pfizer made was citric acid for commercial use as a flavouring agent...
The word ‘biotechnology’ was coined in 1919 by Karl Ereky. The term ‘pharmaceutical biotechnology’ which is the branch of science that deals with all the technologies required for manufacturing, producing and registration of biological drugs. Pharmaceutical biotechnology is a progressively essential ...
Before 1971, the term, biotechnology, was primarily used in the food processing and agriculture industries. Since the 1970s, it began to be used by the Western scientific establishment to refer to laboratory-based techniques being developed in biological research, such as recombinant DNA or tissue...
The word ‘biotechnology’, (or rather the German word ‘Biotechnologie’) was coined in 1919 by the Hungarian economist Karl Ereky to denote a new branch of knowledge based on the interaction of biology and engineering that aimed to deal with production processes in which raw materials are con...
The percentage of cells expressing CDH1 and/or TWIST1 in the epicardial layer of treated and control epicardioids (day 15) was calculated (k). Data are presented as means ± s.d. and were analyzed by unpaired two-tailed t-test; *P = 0.03; **P = 0.002; n = 9 ...

(PMMA) microfluidic channels and a syringe pump to improve kinetics during DNA hybridization. Within minutes, a point mutation in a K-Ras oncogene was discovered at a level of 1 mutant DNA in 10,000 wild-type sequences. The kinetics of hybridization have also been explored by lowering the ...
But this was industry on the high road. More commonly, as Patricia Hynesnotes, “industry and government aimed to discredit the book by discrediting the woman” — they “sexualized their contempt for her.” In an eerie prequel to JD Vance’s diatribes on childless cat ladies, one edit...
‘Medieval biotechnology’ would to most be an oxymoron.1 This is hardly astonishing, for the common understanding of this human activity and its means and ends seems to be as deeply embedded in modernity as the very concept of technology itself. Is...
