... successive editions of the Code have been published as the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, commonly abbreviated as ICBN. In Melbourne, reflecting the view, particularly amongst mycologists, that the word “Botanical” was misleading and could imply that the Code covered only green plants and excluded fungi and diverse algal lineages, it was agreed that the name be changed to International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. In referring to the Code under its new title, we will use the abbreviation ICN. 1, record 1, English, - International%20Code%20of%20Nomenclature%20for%20algae%2C%20fungi%2C%20and%20plants

The structures formed from mixtures of plasmids and cationic lipids are more variable and complicated than simple liposomes. We often find plasmids enclosed in tubelike lipid structures, for example. And under the right conditions, a lipid tube containing a plasmid can fold up to form a dense particle with a lipid wall. This structure is somewhat like that of some viruses. Because structures formed by cationic lipids are so different from simple liposomes, researchers have recently agreed to give them a new name : lipoplex. 1, record 2, English, - lipoplex

L'ADN plasmidique contenant le gène thérapeutique est incubé avec les liposomes vides dans certaines conditions. L'ADN chargé négativement se lie aux liposomes chargés positivement (appelés cationiques) et les plasmides sont absorbés. Les liposomes contenant l'ADN plasmidique s'appellent lipoplexes. Les lipoplexes peuvent ensuite pénétrer dans les cellules ciblées et y introduire l'ADN thérapeutique. 2, record 2, French, - lipoplexe
