- This repository systematically collects, stores, and distributes
human brain and other tissues for research dedicated to
the improved understanding, care, and treatment of diseases
and injuries of the nervous system.
- Donation to this repository may significantly assist in
increasing our understanding, care, or treatment of diseases
and injuries of the nervous system.
- This is the only publicly accessible repository in the
nation that addresses the application of neural stem cells
to the study of childhood nervous system disorders.
- Dr. Schwartz and the CHOC Foundation established the Resource
in 2001 as a non-embryonic, non-fetal alternative resource
for stem cells harvested from post-mortem brain. It has
an active research program here at CHOC run by Dr. Schwartz
in collaboration with researchers worldwide.
- The Children's Hospital of Orange County Institutional
Review Board oversees the operations of the Resource and
assures adherence to legal and ethical standards.
- Only code numbers identify the tissues held by the repositories
so that confidentiality is strictly maintained.
- Tissues are made available to any qualified scientific
investigator, including a commercial concern, which meets
basic criteria.
- One can specify exactly what is to be donated.
- There is no increased cost associated with the donation;
however, participation does not release responsibility for
any costs.
- The donation is totally voluntary and may be withdrawn
at any time without prejudice.
- The donation will not deface or maim the deceased.
- The repository will not routinely share information gained
from research using a particular donation but will post
general research results on its web site.
