Life Extension Foundation Resource Report Resource Website |
Life Extension Foundation (RRID:SCR_010574) | institution | Established in 1980, the Life Extension Foundation is a nonprofit organization, whose long-range goal is to radically extend the healthy human lifespan by discovering scientific methods to control aging and eradicate disease. The largest organization of its kind in the world, the Life Extension Foundation has always been at the forefront of discovering new scientific breakthroughs for use in developing novel disease prevention and treatment protocols to improve the quality and length of human life. Through its private funding of research programs aimed at identifying and developing new therapies to slow and even reverse the aging process, the Life Extension Foundation seeks to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, such age-related killers as heart disease, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer''s disease. Long-time members are keenly aware of the scientific research that Life Extension Foundation funds to develop validated methods to slow and reverse the aging process. Less known is Life Extension''s multi-prong program to develop safer and more effective cancer therapies. One reason we focus so heavily on cancer research is that this dreaded disease represents a roadblock in our ability to develop effective means to combat aging. | is parent organization of: Life Extension | Aging | ISNI: 0000 0001 0300 2958, nlx_41735, grid.490868.b | https://ror.org/02vzd2x77 | SCR_010574 | 2026-09-02 05:40:33 | 0 | |||||||||

Down Syndrome Center for Research and Treatment Resource Report Resource Website |
Down Syndrome Center for Research and Treatment (RRID:SCR_010627) | DSCRT | data or information resource, portal, topical portal | The Down Syndrome Center for Research and Treatment (DSCRT) is one of the first programs in the country to connect academic research with treatment of adults and children with Down syndrome. Our goal is to apply cutting edge basic research to develop treatments that will help people with Down syndrome improve their cognition and forestall the onset of Alzheimer''s disease. Members of this special population continue to live fuller, healthier lives. We hope to build on this progress and advance their potential even further. About 400,000 people with Down syndrome live in the U.S. today, and one in every 733 babies is born with the condition. Children with Down syndrome are at risk for congenital heart defects, respiratory and hearing problems, childhood leukemia, and thyroid conditions. They typically also have mild to moderate cognitive impairment that affects learning, memory and speech. This is an important topic for research. With increased health care, education, and societal support, people with Down syndrome are living longer, fuller lives. But as they age we are discovering an increased occurrence of the symptoms associated with Alzheimer''s disease. In fact, about 25 percent of individuals with Down syndrome over age 35 increasingly show clinical signs and symptoms of Alzheimer''s type dementia. By age 60, more than half show cognitive decline. | has parent organization: University of California San Diego School of Medicine; California; USA | Aging | nlx_58054 | SCR_010627 | 2026-09-02 05:40:38 | 0 | |||||||||

Medical Biobank Resource Report Resource Website |
Medical Biobank (RRID:SCR_010748) | Medical Biobank | biospecimen repository, material storage repository, service resource, storage service resource | 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. | lifestyle, diet, adult, questionnaire |

Gait in Aging and Disease Database Resource Report Resource Website |
Gait in Aging and Disease Database (RRID:SCR_006886) | GaitDB | data or information resource, data set, narrative resource, training material | A mini-collection of human gait data that was constructed as a teaching resource for an intensive course (The Modern Science of Human Aging, conducted at MIT) that includes walking stride interval time series from 15 subjects: 5 healthy young adults (23 - 29 years old), 5 healthy old adults (71 - 77 years old), and 5 older adults (60 - 77 years old) with Parkinson's disease. For each subject, two columns of data are included. The first column is time (in seconds) and the second is the stride interval (variously known as stride time, gait cycle duration, and time between successive heel strikes of the same foot). The same data are also available as standard PhysioBank-format annotation (.str) and header (.hea) files, for viewing or analysis using PhysioToolkit software from this site. Subjects walked continuously on level ground around an obstacle-free path. The stride interval was measured using ultra-thin, force sensitive resistors placed inside the shoe. The analog force signal was sampled at 300 Hz with a 12 bit A/D converter, using an ambulatory, ankle-worn microcomputer that also recorded the data. Subsequently, the time between foot-strikes was automatically computed. The method for determining the stride interval is a modification of a previously validated method that has been shown to agree with force-platform measures, a gold standard. Data were collected from the healthy subjects as they walked in a roughly circular path for 15 minutes, and from the subjects with Parkinson's disease as they walked for 6 minutes up and down a long hallway. | early adult human, late adult human, gait, stride | has parent organization: Physiobank | Aging, Healthy, Parkinson's disease | nlx_45963 | SCR_006886 | 2026-09-02 05:40:09 | 0 | ||||||||

ELDERMET Gut microbiota as an indicator and agent of nutritional health in elderly Irish subjects Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
ELDERMET Gut microbiota as an indicator and agent of nutritional health in elderly Irish subjects (RRID:SCR_008492) | data or information resource, portal, topical portal | Latest publications: ELDERMET research has recently been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (USA). This work focuses on the composition and stability of the intestinal bacteria in older Irish adults. Read the paper here. Would you like to be part of ELDERMET? We are currently looking for people, aged 65 years or older, living in the community. All we ask is that you live in the Cork area, or are willing to travel to Cork, and have recently (within the last two/three weeks) taken any kind of antibiotic. It doesnt matter if you are still taking the antibiotic, as long as the finishing date isnt more than four weeks before your first visit to ELDERMET. ELDERMET Objectives To assess the composition of the faecal microbiota of elderly volunteers in the Irish population, using state-of-the-art molecular techniques. To correlate diversity, composition, and metabolic potential of the faecal microbial metagenome with health, diet and lifestyle indices that are a) likely to be influenced by the microbiota or b) to influence the microbiota. To develop recommendations for specific dietary ingredients, foodstuffs, functional foods and/or dietary supplements, that will improve the health of elderly consumers. To provide evidence-based recommendations for prospective studies to determine the molecular mechanisms for health improvements promoted by specific food ingredients that modulate components of the microbiota. ELDERMET Rationale The human intestinal microbiota is made up of approximately 1000 genetically unique organisms (phylotypes ) [1]. The bacteria present in the intestine make an important contribution to: metabolism executed in the gut [2] health, in diverse activites from pain perception [3] to cognitive function [4]. There is an increasing body of evidence linking alterations in the human gut microbiota with Inflammatory Bowel Disease [5, 6] and Irritable Bowel Syndrome [7]. The changing pattern of the gut microbiota in elderly subjects [8, 9] may be linked to host changes such as immunosenescence, increased susceptibility to disease and potentially systemic effects. The composition of the intestinal microbiota may be modulated by dietary components including prebiotics [10]. ELDERMET will determine the baseline composition of the gut microbiota of several hundred elderly Irish subjects using a combination of traditional culutre and molecular (culture-independent) methodologies. ELDERMET will explore potential correlations between microbiota composition and a range of health indices; cross-referencing data to dietary intake. Data will be analyzed in the context of the related FHRI projects in Nutrigenomics, Food Consumption, Food Safety, and Diet-Health. ELDERMET will provide recommendations to all stakeholders (including health practitioners and the health service, the food industry and the general public) on how to improve health based on defined modifications to dietary intake. Sponsor. This work is supported by the Goverment of Ireland Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Food/Health Research Board Food for Health Research Initiative award to the ELDERMET project as well as by a Science Foundation Ireland award to the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre. M.J.C. is now funded by a fellowship from the Health Research Board of Ireland. | Aging | nif-0000-30485 | SCR_008492 | ELDERMET | 2026-09-02 05:40:17 | 12 | ||||||||||

GIA Brain Bank Program (RRID:SCR_008877) | biomaterial supply resource, brain bank, material resource, tissue bank | The Brain Bank was developed with two service-minded objectives: provide a free brain autopsy to confirm clinical diagnosis of dementia, and collect, bank and provide brain tissue to qualified scientific researchers studying diseases related to dementia. By working together, patients and researchers can help us understand the origins of neurodegenerative disease and eventually improve the treatment and care of dementia. The clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can only be confirmed by brain autopsy, or the examination of brain tissue after death. This examination will determine a patients's precise type of dementia. To confirm the diagnosis of Alzheimer's, for example, the brain tissue is examined for amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles by a neuropathologist. The presence of these plaques and tangles will verify the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. While it is important to us to enroll patients with dementia, it is equally important to enroll people with no dementia. These subjects are termed as controls and the brain tissue from controls will enable researchers to make comparisons to brain tissue from dementia patients. We are seeking donations from individuals who have had an age-related neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lewy Body or other related dementia. | brain, autopsy, clinical diagnosis, brain donation, late adult human |
