The storage and acquisition of human tissue samples have always been present in medicine for centuries; however, biobanks activity has only recently appeared as such. The aim of this review is to give a global perspective of the positioning of biobanks, particularly an overview of what happens in Mexico. One of the main challenges of our country is to establish concerted actions, in wich biobank networks will be developed and have the opportunity to share and create new science, and to build bridges to facilitate improved practices and standardization of biobanks.
几个世纪以来，人体组织样本的存储和采集在医学中一直存在；然而，生物样本库的活动却是最近才出现的。本综述的目的是从全球角度审视生物样本库的定位，特别是概述墨西哥的情况。我国面临的主要挑战之一是采取协调一致的行动，在此过程中发展生物样本库网络，并有机会共享和创造新的科学成果，搭建桥梁以促进生物样本库实践的改进和标准化。
