Until recently, a scarcity of high-quality myeloma tissue has posed one of the greatest challenges in advancing myeloma research and drug development. Now, with the successful establishment of the MMRC Tissue Bank, researchers for the first time have access to the critical mass of high-quality tissue needed to rapidly validate novel and combination therapies for myeloma. The MMRC Tissue Bank is the only resource of its kind that integrates myeloma tissue samples with corresponding genomic and clinical data. To date, the MMRC Tissue Bank has accrued more than 2,700 samples with matching peripheral blood samples, with ongoing collection of tissue samples at Member Institutions nationwide. To further accelerate accrual, the MMRC has also launched a direct-to-patient program to enable myeloma patients to donate their tissue to the MMRC Tissue Bank. Notably, all tissue accrued into the MMRC Tissue Bank is uniformly collected and stored in adherence with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) standards and under the governance of more than 50 standard operating procedures. The MMRC has also established a quality assurance unit that performs weekly internal quality assurance reviews and issues quarterly quality assurance reports. In addition, the MMRC Tissue Bank has been audited twice by external organizations since its inception last year. With these stringent practices in place, the MMRC has ensured that all tissue samples in the MMRC Tissue Bank are of the very highest-quality and, as such, has quickly become the premier resource for industry seeking fresh tissue samples to initiate strong validation work.

Wikikidney.org is an effort to prevent kidney diseases and achieve better outcomes in those who have end stage renal disease. Our mission is to use this medium to make the public more aware of kidney disease in a sincere effort to prevent it when we can, and to help our colleagues achieve good outcomes in those who already have end stage renal disease. Our role is to provide as much information as possible to patients, professionals and the general public, with the hopes that this education will be a motivating factor in making the necessary changes to prevent or stall chronic kidney disease. After nearly two decades of seeing patients with end stage renal disease, it is apparent that much of what we deal with can be delayed or prevented altogether. Several medical trials and innovations in the last several years have confirmed these observations, and form the basis of this website. A major element in preventing renal illness is simply early detection, and for this one needs education. As the Internet expands and becomes more and more a tool of everyday life, we will have the ability to access and distribute information like no other generation before us. Qualified readers are encouraged to contribute to existing articles and to create articles of their own.

The primary blood supplier for Ochsner Medical Center, Ochsner Health Center - Kenner, Ochsner Health Center - West Bank, Ochsner Baptist Health Center, Ochsner St. Anne General Hospital and Lady of the Sea General Hospital in Cut Off. In addition, Ochsner Blood Bank participates in blood-resource sharing with other local community hospitals. Ochsner Blood Bank''s mission is to provide an adequate and safe blood supply for the hospitals and communities Ochsner serves. More than 45,000 blood components were transfused just last year. There''s also supporting information that indicates there will be a significant increase in transfusions for the current year. Blood replacement removes some of the costs of blood, but more importantly it provides patients with a safe and adequate blood supply. It''s likewise insurance that blood will be readily available should the need arise. If you happen to need blood during a hospital stay, please consider asking your family and friends to replace the blood that was transfused. Ochsner offers a blood replacement plan that takes care of everything. It even provides coverage for your family members, or other designated individuals, to receive the replacement units for up to one year should they need them.

The OBO Relation Ontology is an ontology of core relations for use by OBO Foundry ontologies. To enhance the treatment of relations in biomedical ontologies we advance a methodology for providing consistent and unambiguous formal definitions of the relational expressions used in such ontologies in a way designed to assist developers and users in avoiding errors in coding and annotation. The resulting Relation Ontology can promote interoperability of ontologies and support new types of automated reasoning about the spatial and temporal dimensions of biological and medical phenomena. The OBO Relation ontology is undergoing substantial changes: * Core domain-independent relations will live in BFO * Biology specific relations (defined in terms of core relations) will live in RO

Evolving portal that will provide interactive tools and resources to allow researchers, clinicians, and students to discover, analyze, and visualize what is known about the brain's organization, and what the evidence is for that knowledge. This project has a current experimental focus: creating the first brainwide mesoscopic connectivity diagram in the mouse. Related efforts for the human brain currently focus on literature mining and an Online Brain Atlas Reconciliation Tool. The primary goal of the Brain Architecture Project is to assemble available knowledge about the structure of the nervous system, with an ultimate emphasis on the human CNS. Such information is currently scattered in research articles, textbooks, electronic databases and datasets, and even as samples on laboratory shelves. Pooling the knowledge across these heterogeneous materials - even simply getting to know what we know - is a complex challenge that requires an interdisciplinary approach and the contributions and support of the greater community. Their approach can be divided into 4 major thrusts: * Literature Curation and Text Mining * Computational Analysis * Resource Development * Experimental Efforts
