Electroporation is a platform technology for drug and gene delivery. When applied to cell in vitro or tissues in vivo, it leads to an increase in membrane permeability for molecules which otherwise cannot enter the cell. The therapeutic effectiveness of delivered chemotherapeutics or nucleic acids depends greatly on their successful and efficient delivery to the target tissue. Therefore, the understanding of different principles of drug and gene delivery is necessary and needs to be taken into account according to the specificity of their delivery to tumors and/or normal tissues.

The explosive development of European road transport after WW II brought great benefits, but incurred a substantial toll in terms of deaths and injuries caused by accidents. A number of safety actions focused on stopping or slowing down this negative development were implemented. In the 1980s, a need for deeper analysis was recognised. The understanding of safety developments benefits from comparison between various countries. This pre-supposes a common methodological framework and database, consisting of the necessary data for each country in the same format.
The COST 329 Action compared various national approaches, evaluated them and specified an efficient methodology forthe analysis of past and future traffic safety developments. The tools developed help politicians and administrators to assess safety trends, to compare safety scenarios and to select the most effective measures in order to improve safety programmes.
