http://uberon.org

An integrated cross-species anatomy ontology representing a variety of entities classified according to traditional anatomical criteria such as structure, function and developmental lineage. The ontology includes comprehensive relationships to taxon-specific anatomical ontologies, allowing integration of functional, phenotype and expression data. Uberon consists of over 10000 classes (March 2014) representing structures that are shared across a variety of metazoans. The majority of these classes are chordate specific, and there is large bias towards model organisms and human.

Biorepository of tissues and fluids relevant for the neurologic, neuropsychologic, psychiatric and neuropathologic manifestations of HIV infection, linked to medical records and an on-going clinical trial for research use by the scientific community. The MHBB conducts a longitudinal, observational study that follows a group of HIV-infected individuals who have agreed to be fluid and organ donors for the purposes of AIDS research. They are currently the largest, multidisciplinary neuroAIDS cohort in New York City, the epicenter of the US HIV epidemic. Research participants undergo regular neurologic, neuropsychologic, and psychiatric evaluations, and provide body fluid samples that are linked to clinical information. Upon their demise, study participants become organ donors. This program has supplied clinical information, tissue, and fluid samples to over 70 qualified AIDS researchers across America, Europe and Australia. In fulfilling its resource mission, the MHBB functions as part of the National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC). MHBB provides a means by which people living with HIV can be engaged in the struggle to improve our knowledge about HIV infection and the damage it causes to the body.

http://www.biobanks.se/medicalbiobank.htm

A biobank created from a cross-sectional population of a town in Sweden. The Medical Biobank is mainly based on three cohorts: The V��sterbotten intervention cohort, the MONICA-cohort, and the Mammary screening cohort. These sub-cohorts together are named Northern Sweden Health and Disease Study Cohort (North Health). These sub-cohorts together is named Northern Sweden Health and Disease Study Cohort (North Health). Originally, the V��sterbotten Intervention program (VIP) is a long-term project intended for health promotion of the population of V��sterbotten. All individuals 40, 50 and 60 years of age in the population of the county are invited for screening (approx. 254.000 inhabitants). They are asked to complete a questionnaire concerning various lifestyle factors including diet. They are also asked to donate a separate blood sample to the Medical Biobank for freeze storage for later research purposes. The project started in 1985 and the cohort covered in December 2002, 74,000 individuals, of whom 67,000 had donated blood samples. The material is supplemented with population based samples from a local mammary screening (44,000 sampling occasions, 25,700 unique individuals) and from the Northern Sweden MONICA Project (11,500 sampling occasions, 7,500 unique individuals). The total cohort contains at the moment 85.000 unique individuals with 130.000 sampling occasions. The VIP and MONICA cohorts are population based and the mammary screening cohort are nearly population based. Follow-up: * For the VIP-cohort a second sample (and questionnaire) is collected with a 10-year interval of the individuals within the cohort. * Repeated sampling was performed in the MONICA project in 1999 on individuals participating in 1986, 1990, and 1994. * From 1997 repeated screening has started within the mammary screening program with sampling every second year, in the age group 50-69 years within the county. Biobank content: * Life-Style Questionnaire: Every attending subject is asked to answer a questionnaire, which in the VIP and MONICA-projects includes questions about education, occupation/working conditions, daily habits including smoking, diet, etc and in the mammary screening cohort on reproductive conditions. The dietary questionnaire has been validated twice. The data from the questionnaires, as well as from results from the biobank, are kept in a database for future research purposes. The questionnaires in the VIP and the MONICA project are optically read. * Measurements: Blood Pressure, Anthropometry, Glucose Tolerance Test, Blood Lipids * Blood Samples: The attendants are asked for their willingness to donate a sample of 20-ml whole blood for future analyses. The sample is taken after 4 hours of fasting or in the morning after an over night fasting (most samples) in the VIP and MONICA cohorts. The 20-ml sample is divided into 10 subsamples consisting of 6 plasma, 2 leukocyte (buffy coat) and 2 erythrocyte samples. All material is frozen at -80 degrees C. The organization of the bank is elaborated with specially trained staff and an organization of transport-, storage- and security facilities. For DNA handling a specialized laboratory has been built up. * End-points: Mortality, Cancer events, Cardiovascular events, Other morbidity, Other registry-based follow-up * Registries: At regular intervals the cohort is scanned for incident myocardial infarctions (MI) and stroke utilizing the Northern Sweden MONICA registry and for cancer using the regional cancer registry. In the future the same procedure will be applied also on other registries e.g. diabetes, osteoporosis, dementia.

Database that provides human protein interaction information and integrated interaction and also finds proteins from databases that can potentially react with proteins submitted by users. The human protein interaction information was pre-computed by a statistical method from existing structural and experimental data, while the integrated human protein interactions are derived from BIND, DIP and HPRD. A score composed of three parts is assigned to the predicted interaction data, and those interactions with high scores were found reliable. HPID allows the user to use the protein IDs in EMBL, Ensembl, MIM, RefSeq, HPRD and NCBI to search protein interactions of interest. A set of web-based software tools has also been developed so that users can visualize and analyze protein interaction networks.

A laboratory that investigates the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of acute and chronic neurodegenerative disease, with a focus on the role of glutamate excitotoxicity. It aims at unraveling the molecular basis for cell death and edema development in stroke, and explores the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease and temporal lobe epilepsy. The main objective of the LMN is to advance understanding of the role of glutamate, as a transmitter substance in the normal brain and as a mediator of excitotoxicity in pathological conditions such as stroke. To this end the LMN employs several vital and nonvital imaging techniques. Model systems includes organotypic slice cultures and transgenic animals. An important focus of the LMN is to explore the role of DNA damage and repair in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disease. LMN is also engaged in research on molecular mechanism underlying brain edema, epilepsy, and Alzheimer's disease.

The long-term goals of my research are to understand the relationship between neuronal structure and function, and to elucidate the factors that affect neuronal morphology and function over the lifespan of the mammal. Currently we are examining 1) the effects of synaptic activity on neuronal development; 2) the effects of estrogen on neuronal morphology and on learning and memory; and, 3) the effects of aging on neuronal structure and function. We have focused our efforts on single neurons in the hippocampal formation, a region that is critical for certain forms of learning and memory in rodents and humans. From the portal, you may click on a cell in your region of interest to see the complete database of cells from that region. You may also explore the Neuron Database: * Comparative Electrotonic Analysis of Three Classes of Rat Hippocampal Neurons. (Raw data available) * Quantitative, three-dimensional analysis of granule cell dendrites in the rat dentate gyrus. * Dendritic Growth and Regression in Rat Dentate Granule Cells During Late Postnatal Development.(Raw data available) * A light and electron microscopic analysis of the mossy fibers of the rat dentate gyrus.
