UCSF Brain Tumor Tissue Bank Resource Report Resource Website |
UCSF Brain Tumor Tissue Bank (RRID:SCR_000647) | biomaterial supply resource, material resource, tissue bank | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Brain Tumor Research Center Tissue Bank began collecting tissue in 1978 and has established an organized repository of characterized tissues--frozen, paraffin-embedded, blood and cultures--that are maintained in a manner useful for a wide range of studies. Samples are collected only from patients who have agreed to have their tissues banked and used for future research. Consent documents are maintained in a secure area and associated clinical data are held in a double-password protected computer database. Each sample received into the Tissue Bank is non-identifying number. No protected health information (PHI) is released. To obtain samples, investigators submit a request form to the Manager. The request form requires an explanation of the tissue requested (type, number of samples, justification), description of the study, CHR approval (see new policy regarding human vs. non-human research) and Project Leader authorization. The Manager reviews each request for feasibility before presentation to the Scientific Core Committee. The UCSF Neurosurgery Tissue Bank makes its inventory of stock cell lines available to all investigators. Requested cells are grown in T-25 flasks and shipped FedEx Priority Overnight at the receipient's expense. However, if you prefer, we can ship the frozen cells, packed in dry ice. (Note: some countries restrict dry ice shipments.) | tissue, frozen, paraffin-embedded, blood, culture, frozen tissuefrozen serum, serum, paraffin embedded tissue, research, cell, cell line |

UMAS University Hospital - Biobanks of the Department of Clinical Pathology and Cytology Resource Report Resource Website |
UMAS University Hospital - Biobanks of the Department of Clinical Pathology and Cytology (RRID:SCR_005957) | Biobanks of the Department of Clinical Pathology and Cytology | instrument supplier, material resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on October 6th, 2022. The biobank comprises paraffin blocks of surgical and autopsy tissue samples and corresponding histological slides as well as cytological material consisting of slides of vaginal smears, fine needle aspiration biopsies and exfoliative cytological material. The tissue samples date back until 1944 and most of the cytological samples until 1970. A subunit of the bank constitutes the National Tissue Microarray Centre. This center is supported by SWEGENE with the purpose to organize and construct tissue microarrays (TMA:s) for high throughput molecular pathology research on various kinds of tumors and other diseases. By linking the TMA.s to long-term and complete clinical follow-up data, prognostic and predictive studies will be facilitated. Biobank content: * Approximately 2,4 million paraffin blocks of surgical tissue specimens, * 1,1 million paraffin blocks of tissue samples from autopsies, * 3,8 million histological slides and * 1,6 million cytology slides. At present, the Tissue Microarray Centre includes: * A consecutive series of all invasive breast cancers (n=600) diagnosed in Malmo between 1988 and 1992. * All incident breast cancers within the Malmo Diet and Cancer cohort (n=400). * A subgroup of 600 pre-menopausal primary breast cancers within the nationwide, population-based randomized tamoxifen trial SBII:2. * 180 primary breast cancers from post-menopausal women included in a similar study. * A set of 120 extremely well characterized primary breast cancer samples with a clinical follow-up of 10 years. More than 40 relevant tumor biological parameters have been recorded in this material and it is therefore useful for a first screening of a marker in order to identify associations to other gene products. * 350 renal cell carcinomas (In collaboration with NUS). We provide researchers with state-of-the-art population based tissue microarrays with long-term and complete follow-up data on survival and treatment. With the TMA-technology, valuable biobank material will be preserved, allowing high throughput in-situ analyses of various tumors and other diseases with a minimal waste of tissue. | surgery, autopsy, histology slide, vaginal smear, fine needle aspiration, biopsy, tissue microarray, tumor, disease, cancer, diet, renal cell, kidney |

Chernobyl Tissue Bank Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Chernobyl Tissue Bank (RRID:SCR_010662) | CTB | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | The CTB (Chernobyl Tissue Bank) is an international cooperation that collects, stores and disseminates biological samples from tumors and normal tissues from patients for whom the aetiology of their disease is known - exposure to radioiodine in childhood following the accident at the Chernobyl power plant. The main objective of this project is to provide a research resource for both ongoing and future studies of the health consequences of the Chernobyl accident. It seeks to maximize the amount of information obtained from small pieces of tumor by providing multiple aliquots of RNA and DNA extracted from well documented pathological specimens to a number of researchers world-wide and to conserve this valuable material for future generations of scientists. It exists to promote collaborative, rather than competitive, research on a limited biological resource. Tissue is collected to an approved standard operating procedure (SOP) and is snap frozen; the presence or absence of tumor is verified by frozen section. A representative paraffin block is also obtained for each case. Where appropriate, we also collect fresh and paraffin-embedded tissue from loco-regional metastases. Currently we do not issue tissue but provide extracted nucleic acid, paraffin sections and sections from tissue microarrays from this material. The project is coordinated from Imperial College, London and works with Institutes in the Russian Federation (the Medical Radiological Research Centre in Obninsk) and Ukraine (the Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism in Kiev) to support local scientists and clinicians to manage and run a tissue bank for those patients who have developed thyroid tumors following exposure to radiation from the Chernobyl accident. Belarus was also initially included in the project, but is currently suspended for political reasons. |

The Cancer Genome Atlas Resource Report Resource Website 5000+ mentions |
The Cancer Genome Atlas (RRID:SCR_003193) | TCGA | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | Project exploring the spectrum of genomic changes involved in more than 20 types of human cancer that provides a platform for researchers to search, download, and analyze data sets generated. As a pilot project it confirmed that an atlas of changes could be created for specific cancer types. It also showed that a national network of research and technology teams working on distinct but related projects could pool the results of their efforts, create an economy of scale and develop an infrastructure for making the data publicly accessible. Its success committed resources to collect and characterize more than 20 additional tumor types. Components of the TCGA Research Network: * Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR); Tissue samples are carefully cataloged, processed, checked for quality and stored, complete with important medical information about the patient. * Genome Characterization Centers (GCCs); Several technologies will be used to analyze genomic changes involved in cancer. The genomic changes that are identified will be further studied by the Genome Sequencing Centers. * Genome Sequencing Centers (GSCs); High-throughput Genome Sequencing Centers will identify the changes in DNA sequences that are associated with specific types of cancer. * Proteome Characterization Centers (PCCs); The centers, a component of NCI's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium, will ascertain and analyze the total proteomic content of a subset of TCGA samples. * Data Coordinating Center (DCC); The information that is generated by TCGA will be centrally managed at the DCC and entered into the TCGA Data Portal and Cancer Genomics Hub as it becomes available. Centralization of data facilitates data transfer between the network and the research community, and makes data analysis more efficient. The DCC manages the TCGA Data Portal. * Cancer Genomics Hub (CGHub); Lower level sequence data will be deposited into a secure repository. This database stores cancer genome sequences and alignments. * Genome Data Analysis Centers (GDACs) - Immense amounts of data from array and second-generation sequencing technologies must be integrated across thousands of samples. These centers will provide novel informatics tools to the entire research community to facilitate broader use of TCGA data. TCGA is actively developing a network of collaborators who are able to provide samples that are collected retrospectively (tissues that had already been collected and stored) or prospectively (tissues that will be collected in the future). | genome, genome sequencing, breast, central nervous system, endocrine, gastrointestinal, gynecologic, head, neck, hematologic, skin, soft tissue, thoracic, urologic, clinical, genomic characterization, analysis, tumor genome, demographic, gene expression, copy number alteration, epigenetic, dna sequence, exome, snp, methylation, mrna, mirna, FASEB list |
