Human tissue and biobank research is of increasing importance for understanding the causes of widespread diseases and developing effective therapies. However, while the success of biobank research depends on the availability of a large number of samples and the consolidation of collections across country borders is very desirable from the perspective of researchers, the legal and ethical requirements for the procurement, storage and use of human tissue samples are rather heterogeneous across different countries. Moreover, the lack of comprehensive supranational regulation on human tissue and biobanking can be seen as posing a serious threat to transnational biomedical research. Against this background, it was one of the aims of the EU-funded Tiss.EU project ("Evaluation of Legislation and Related Guidelines on the Procurement, Storage and Transfer of Human Tissues and Cells in the European Union - an Evidence-Based Impact Analysis") to analyse the ethical and legal regulation of human tissue and biobank research across the 27 European Member States plus Switzerland. The results of nine international workshops and three conferences are gathered in this volume. While the country reports evaluate the implementation of ethical and legal guidelines at a national level, point out their strengths and deficits, and, where required, create an evidence base for the revision of said legislation, the conference reports address more general ethical and legal issues in this field. The volume is completed by a final presentation of project's results.

The aim of the conference, in line with previous initiatives, was to stimulate discussion among researchers who, in their respective disciplinary fields (physics, engineering, biology, medicine, epidemiology), actively contribute to the development of knowledge in the field of bioelectromagnetism and the interaction between electromagnetic fields and biosystems. Contributions cover the following, but not exclusive, topics: i study of the effects of electromagnetic fields in vivo, in vitro, on humans (laboratory and/or epidemiological studies), ii exposure/dosimetry, iii biomedical applications, iv interaction mechanisms, and v food engineering. L'obiettivo del convegno, in linea con le precedenti iniziative, è stato quello di stimolare il confronto tra i ricercatori che, nei rispettivi settori disciplinari (fisica, ingegneria, biologia, medicina, epidemiologia), contribuiscono attivamente allo sviluppo delle conoscenze nell'ambito del bioelettromagnetismo e delle interazione tra campi elettromagnetici e biosistemi. I contributi riguardano le seguenti, ma non esclusive, tematiche: i studio degli effetti dei campi elettromagnetici in vivo, in vitro, sull'uomo (studi di laboratorio e/o epidemiologici), ii esposizione/dosimetria, iii applicazioni biomedicali, iv meccanismi di interazione e v food engineering.

The International Workshop on Models and Analysis of Vocal Emissions for Biomedical Applications (MAVEBA) came into being in 1999 from the particularly felt need of sharing know-how, objectives and results between areas that until then seemed quite distinct such as bioengineering, medicine and singing. MAVEBA deals with all aspects concerning the study of the human voice with applications ranging from the neonate to the adult and elderly. Over the years the initial issues have grown and spread also in other aspects of research such as occupational voice disorders, neurology, rehabilitation, image and video analysis. MAVEBA takes place every two years always in Firenze, Italy.

Annotation This special issue book entitled "Micro/nanofluidic devices for Single Cell Analysis" is also uniquely comprehensive insofar as it not only deals with problems that are directly related to fluidics with cells such as a cell lysis, intracellular delivery, electrokinetic phenomenon, transport mechanism, flow resistance, molecular diffusion into cells, but also it deals with the advance concept of micro/nano fabrication and their challenges, from which readers can gain knowledge regarding cellular analyses using different devices.
