Our
tissues are obtained at autopsy or during any warranted surgical
procedure (biopsy, surgical resection, etc.). Under both circumstances
neural stem cells are grown and stored in liquid nitrogen. Additionally,
naive tissue is cryopreserved for future culture.
We currently have cultured cells and/or tissues from a growing
group of controls and patients with neurological disorders.
A very diverse representation of diseases is reflected in
this collection. Access our database
to peruse the collection.
We are here to serve you and your colleagues.
We would like to know
- if your research has need for tissues of this type
- if you have any specific needs that may require us to
alter our harvesting protocol
- if there are any specific disease types that you are particularly
interested in
- if you know of any colleagues that may have an interest
in the Stem Cell Resource.
All that is required for a request is
- a letter on institutional letterhead describing the cultures
needed and their intended purpose (Sample
Request Letter),
- a current NIH-style biographical sketch, and
- an executed Tissue Transfer
Agreement. (MS Word file)
Once a request letter and CV are received, a signed TTA will
be sent to you for execution by you and your institution.
