A database of imaging probes useful for preclinical and clinical studies. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Society for Non-Invasive Imaging in Drug Development (SNIDD) are in the process of creating a centralized, searchable PET, SPECT, and MRI tracer database as a resource for the scientific community. The goal of this effort is to promote the use of imaging probes in preclinical and clinical research and in drug discovery to accelerate the identification and validation of novel targets for therapeutic intervention in human diseases, especially those with central nervous system components. NIMH will maintain the tracer database as part of the Psychoactive Drug Screening Program (PDSP). The database will contain records for each radiotracer with relevant information such as target, research uses, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, synthesis protocols, toxicology and safety data, dosimetry, other clinical data, IND info, permission to cross-reference pharmacology, toxicology, or safety data in a drug master file (if an IND exists), contact information, patent, etc. with appropriate safeguards in place to protect the intellectual property of proprietary compounds.

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.

A portal to the Mouse Atlas of Gene Expression Project and Dissecting Gene Expression Networks in Mammalian Organogenesis Project. This Atlas will define the normal state for many tissues by determining, in a comprehensive and quantitative fashion, the number and identity of genes expressed throughout development. The resource will be comprehensive, quantitative, and publicly accessible, containing data on essentially all genes expressed throughout select stages of mouse development. Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) is the gene expression methodology of choice for this work. Unlike expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and gene chip data, SAGE data are independent of prior gene discovery and are quantitative. Furthermore, SAGE data are digital, easily exchanged between laboratories for comparison and can be added to by scientists for years to come. Thus, this Atlas will include a data structure and data curation strategy that will facilitate the ongoing collection of gene expression data, even after the completion of this project. The Mouse Atlas project compromises 202 SAGE Libraries from 198 tissues. The list of libraries is available in a number of different groupings, including groups of libraries taken from specific tissue locations and libraries taken from specific developmental stages. Furthermore, this atlas will assemble gene expression profiles for a few focused experiments that will test hypotheses related to the techniques employed, tumor models and models of abnormal development. This will test the resource and provide quality control, validation and demonstrate applicability. Additionally, The Mammalian Organogenesis - Regulation by Gene Expression Networks (MORGEN) project will provide a complete, permanent, and accurate picture of mouse gene expression in the heart (atrioventricular canal and outflow tract), pancreas, and liver; new techniques to understand the interplay of proteins governing the expression of genes key to the development of these organ systems; and the identification of the master regulatory switches that control development of the tissues.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.. Documented on October, 01, 2019.<br/>3D digital atlas of normal mouse development constructed from magnetic resonance image data. The download is a zipped file containing the six atlases Theiler Stages (ts) 13, 21,23, 24, 25 and 26 and MRI data for an unlabeled ts19 embryo. To view the atlases, download and install MBAT from: http://mbat.loni.ucla.edu Specimens were prepared in aqueous, isotonic solutions to avoid tissue shrinkage. Limited specimen handling minimized physical perturbation of the embryos to ensure accurate geometric representations of developing mouse anatomy. Currently, the atlas contains orthogonal sections through MRI volumes, three stages of embryos that have annotated anatomy, photographs of several stages of development, lineage trees for annotated embryos and a gallery of images and movies derived from the annotations. Anatomical annotations can be viewed by selecting a transverse section and selecting a pixel on the displayed slice.
