What is biological regulation?

“ Biological regulation ” section analyses a new and special type of second-order control (regulatory control) and makes explicit the organisational requirements for its realisation in biological systems.

What is the regulatory framework for Biologicals?

The regulatory framework for biologicals provides the legislative basis for the regulation of human tissue and cell-derived products and live animal cell, tissues or organs that are supplied, in or exported from, Australia.

Which products are regulated as biologicals?

In this section: Regulation basics | Classification and interpretation | Autologous human cells and tissues (HCT) products | Faecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) products All FMT products are regulated as biologicals.

What is the biologicals legislation?

The biologicals legislation commenced on 31 May 2011, following a recommendation from Commonwealth, State and Territory health ministers to improve the regulation of human tissues and cell-based therapies. All products within the scope of the framework need to comply with the requirements made under the legislation.

What would happen if biological processes were not regulated?

Without regulation biological processes would become progressively more and more chaotic. In living cells the primary source of information is genetic material. Studying the role of information in biology involves signaling (i.e., spatial and temporal transfer of information) and storage (preservation of information).

What is the Australian regulatory guidelines for Biologicals (ARGB)?

The Australian Regulatory Guidelines for Biologicals (ARGB): explains the legislative requirements outlined in the regulatory framework for biologicals, including specific biological standards.
