THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone., documented on August 1, 2015. Consortium that aims to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations to advance the understanding of pancreatic islet development and function, with the goal of developing innovative therapies to correct the loss of beta cell mass in diabetes, including cell reprogramming, regeneration and replacement. They are responsible for collaboratively generating the necessary reagents, mouse strains, antibodies, assays, protocols, technologies and validation assays that are beyond the scope of any single research effort. The scientific goals for the BCBC are to: * Use cues from pancreatic development to directly differentiate pancreatic beta cells and islets from stem / progenitor cells for use in cell-replacement therapies for diabetes, * Determine how to stimulate beta cell regeneration in the adult pancreas as a basis for improving beta cell mass in diabetic patients, * Determine how to reprogram progenitor / adult cells into pancreatic beta-cells both in-vitro and in-vivo as a mean for developing cell-replacement therapies for diabetes, and * Investigate the progression of human type-1 diabetes using patient-derived cells and tissues transplanted in humanized mouse models. Many of the BCBC investigator-initiated projects involve reagent-generating activities that will benefit the larger scientific community. The combination of programs and activities should accelerate the pace of major new discoveries and progress within the field of beta cell biology.

Hi. I''m genegeek (aka Catherine Anderson). I realized during my PostDoc that I preferred learning and explaining new results to doing science so I started a non-traditional career of teaching and outreach. I''ll be using this space to explore public perception of genetics and other cool molecular biology stuff. I hope to add to the great discussions re: new science discoveries and general understanding of genetics. I''ve been running an outreach program and enjoy talking to non-experts about their opinions and understanding. I hope my enthusiasm for the topics can come through the screen. My posts are presented as opinion and commentary and do not represent the views of LabSpaces Productions, LLC, my employer, or my educational institution.

http://blogs.nejm.org/now/

A blog produced by the NEJM publishing communications team about new and innovative content in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM.org). Our goal is to inform you about what''s new and provide some additional context to complement the content published in NEJM. Each week we post a piece under Insights about one of the latest research papers in NEJM, discussing its clinical significance, where it may lead us in practice and research, and often giving an editor''s thoughts about why it was important to publish. We pose questions to stimulate your thinking and discussion. The idea is to make it easy for you to give us your views on a particular topic and make the conversation accessible to other doctors and physicians-in-training. Posts contain links to the full article, which will be free to all visitors for a limited time. We also feature two posts from the Resident e-Bulletin each week, with an article summary, Clinical Pearls, and Morning Report Questions teaching points that many of you find so useful in your roles as teachers or trainees. The blog gives us a new way to distribute and store this educational information on the social web, again, inviting comment and discussion. You''ll also hear about new products and applications as we bring them out, such as new Interactive Medical Cases, or iPhone applications, like NEJM This Week and the Image Challenge. We link to videos on the NEJMvideo channel on YouTube, share our Twitter feed, and links to NEJM in the News, too. We''d like this to be an open forum, complementary to the core content of NEJM, engaging you in a new experience beyond the journal page in a more interactive community.

Some Sciblog contributors spend most of their time in the lab or buried in research. Others are authors or entrepreneurs. All of them know what they are talking about and have an interest in engaging in discussion on the big science-related issues facing society. Over time more bloggers will be added to the Sciblogs roster. If you would like to inquire about hosting a blog on Sciblogs contact us. You can easily keep an eye on new Sciblogs posts by subscribing via RSS or email or by following our Twitter feed.

PLoS Blogs has been set up to bring a select group of independent science and medicine bloggers together with the editors and staff who run our blogs. Our independent network is made up of writers who love science and medicine, and scientists and physicians that love to write. Here, you'll find an equal mix of blogs from journalists and researchers tackling diverse issues in science and medicine. There are three very distinct types of blogs on the PLoS Blogs network: the official PLoS blog, the PLoS journal blogs (collectively known as The PLoS Blogs), and blogs from the independent network (a.k.a. The PLoS Blogosphere) # The official PLoS blog: This content is produced, edited, and/or maintained by PLoS staff. # The journal blogs: This content is produced, edited, and/or maintained by PLoS journal staff: The current journal blogs are Speaking of Medicine (PLoS Medicine's blog) and everyONE (PLoS ONE's blog). # Our independent network of bloggers (The PLoS Blogosphere): This content is produced, edited, and/or maintained by the authors. * All of the content in The PLoS Blogosphere came from the minds of the authors. PLoS does not screen, edit, or otherwise meddle with content on the these blogs in any way. Our bloggers and our users are held to exactly the same standards, and the community guidelines apply to everyone that uses our site. If a blogger has posted content that you believe violates our site abuse policy, please contact PLoS. * Bloggers monitor their own comment threads: All comments will be reviewed by the author of the blog where you leave your thoughts. Just follow our simple community guidelines and we'll all get along just fine.

Dataset from an investigation of biochemical evidence of myocardial strain, oxidative stress, and cardiomyocyte injury in 55 acute KD subjects (30 with paired convalescent samples), 54 febrile control (FC), and 50 healthy control (HC) children by measuring concentrations of cardiovascular biomarkers. NT-proBNP and sST2 were elevated in acute KD subjects and correlated with impaired myocardial relaxation. These findings, combined with elevated levels of cTnI, suggest that both cardiomyocyte stress and cell death are associated with myocardial inflammation in acute KD.
