HPA - Webinar

The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) is celebrating its 20-year journey by publishing a "Digital Booklet" and a “Microsite" created in collaboration with Science/AAAS.

In addition, HPA has launch 11 stunning movies created by light sheet microscopy to explore the human body in 3D.

We will also add a lot of new features, including:
(1) a new Single Cell Type Atlas
(2) a new human prefrontal cortex map
(3) a new nucleoli rim localisation in the HPA Cell Atlas
(4) a revised Dictionary.

EFB Journal  - New Biotechnology - New Biotechnology - Volume 61, 25 March 2021, Pages 1-8. Current state and future directions of bioeconomy in the Czech Republic. Author Miroslav Hájeka, Michaela Holecová, Helena Smolová, Ladislav Jeřábek, IvoFrébort
This article presents the current status of the development of bioeconomy in the Czech Republic. Although the country has no unified strategy on bioeconomy, there are ambitious governmental innovation strategies and focused strategies for each region. Traditionally, the country has had a strong research performance in chemistry and biology, which together with developed agriculture, forestry and food industries, provides a good foundation for the development of locally based circular systems. Moreover, the government supports research on tools and applications of new plant breeding technologies, including genome editing, and there is a strong initiative from the research community calling to update EU regulatory policy in this area.
