This article reports on part of a larger project on neologisms in the field of biotechnology. The research concentrates on English neologisms and how they influence the Dutch special language of molecular biology and genetic engineering. The origin of "splicing " is traced in its new usage in biotechnology, and the realisation of the associated concepts in Dutch is examined as a special case of limited borrowing in secondary term formation.

Pharmacognosy has developed rapidly in recent years and now represents a highly interdisciplinary science. At the boundary between pharmacognosy and molecular biology, molecular pharmacognosy has developed as a new borderline discipline. Using the method and technology of molecular biology, molecular pharmacognosy focuses on resolving a wide range of challenging problems, such as distinguishing herbal and animal drug populations by molecular marker assay, conserving and utilizing wild resources on the basis of knowledge of genetic diversity, investigating the mechanism of active compound accumulation and obtaining new resources with higher quality through genetic engineering. Recent research results show that molecular pharmacognosy has extended the scope of pharmacognostical science and plays an important role in the safe and efficient usage of crude drugs.

This article explores an ensemble of technical objects and biological objects in bio-art and proposes aesthetic values that the ensemble reveals. French philosopher Gilbert Simondon considered technical objects carefully in the 1950s. In his study, he was alert to an assimilation of technical objects to biological objects. In our time, the development of molecular biology and genetic engineering offers evidence that technical objects are closely linked to biological objects. The process of concretizing technical objects and biological objects is latent in works of bio-art, which therefore can realize aesthetic potentials that technical objects and biological objects imply.
