THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. During the embryogenesis of human embryo, the development of each organ may be impaired during specific time periods. As illustrated, such impairment leads to congenital anomalies. After such critical periods, the environmental factors cause either minor congenital anomalies or lead to functional abnormalities. True beginning of gestation starts with the fertilization of the ovum which normally occurs one to several days after ovulation. By convention, however, due the fact that the day of the last menstrual period is easily defined, gestation starts on such day. During the first two weeks of pregnancy the embryo does not exist and endometrium is undergoing its normal menstrual and then proliferative phases. Stage one of the development starts with the fertilization of the ovum and stage 2 is initiated by the cleavage of the fertilized ovum. It is during the 4th and 5th stages of development that blastocyst starts its implantation process. By the end of the second week after fertilization, the stage 6 is initiated. During this stage, the primary chorionic villi and embryonic disc are formed.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on March 27, 2013. Web-based portal to connect all the constituencies in the global biobank community. The project seeks to increase the transparency and accessibility of the scientific research process by connecting researchers with an additional source of funding - microinvestments received from the broader online community. In exchange for these public investments, researchers will maintain research logs detailing the play-by-play progress made in their project, as well as publishing all of their data in a public database under a science commons license. These research projects, in turn, will serve to continually update a research-based neuroscience-based human brain & body curriculum. Biobanks are the meeting point of two major information trends in biomedical research: the generation of huge amounts of genomic and other laboratory data, and the electronic capture and integration of patient clinical records. They are comprised of large numbers of human biospecimens supplemented with clinical data. Biobanks when implemented effectively can harness the power of both genomic and clinical data and serve as a critical bridge between basic and applied research, linking laboratory to patient and getting to cures faster. As science and technology leaders work to address the many challenges facing U.S. biobanks logistical, technical, ethical, financial, intellectual property, and IT BioBank Central will serve as an accurate and timely source of knowledge and news about biorepositories and their role in research and drug development. The Web site also provides a working group venue, patient and public education programs, and a forum for international collaboration and harmonization of best practices.

Proteins are the molecular building blocks and engines of the cell, and are involved in almost all processes of life. The scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) investigate the structure of proteins and how they function from individual molecules up to whole organisms. With about 850 employees coming from 45 nations, the MPIB is one of the largest institutes within the Max Planck Society. In currently seven departments and about 25 research groups, scientists contribute to the newest findings in the areas of biochemistry, cell biology, structural biology, biophysics and molecular science. They are supported by several scientific, administrative and technical service facilities.

MolecularBrain is an attempt to collect, collates, analyze and present the microarray derived gene expression data from various brain regions side by side. Transcription Profile of any gene in Mouse (online) and Human Brain (not yet) can be accessed as a histogram along with links to access various aspects of that gene. The expression levels were calculated from microarray data deposited at GEO (Gene expression omnibus). The molecular brain database could be searched using the built in search tool with the terms Entrez GeneID, gene symbol, synonym or description. Gene information along with their expression values can be also accessed from the alphabetical list of gene symbols on the footer. The protocol and GEO sample information is available.

Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is a dedicated team of volunteers, patients, survivors, family members, health care professionals and staff, determined to make the journey with a brain tumor one full of hope and support. We work collaboratively to serve the needs of those Canadians affected by all types of brain tumors. Information, education and support is available and research continues into the cause of and a cure for brain tumors. Every year, thousands of Canadians affected by brain tumors find emotional support and comfort while gaining a better understanding and knowledge of their disease through a range of programs and services available across the country. This includes: up-to-date brain tumor information material, numerous education events and support groups. Important brain tumor research is also supported through annual grants, a fellowship and the brain tumour tissue bank. We welcome donations, large or small.

An online game for mapping neuronal connections in the retina. The site provides microscopic retinal images and uses crowdsourcing to make sense of the images. EyeWire is where the general public can help make discoveries about the neural structure of the retina. The challenge is to map the neural connections of the retina by analyzing images that were acquired using serial electron microscopy at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany. A retinal volume of size 350��300��60 micrometer cubed was imaged, amounting to about one terabyte of data. Retinal Connectome * Game 1: Reconstructing Neurons * Game 2: Identifying Synapses Eyewire incorporates computational technologies developed by the laboratory of Prof. Sebastian Seung at MIT.

In the early nineties it became evident that HIV infection was spreading widely in India and the national efforts for control of HIV infection needed to be backed by quality research. It was also realized that AIDS, being a multifaceted disease, needed multi-disciplinary research involving virology, immunology, microbiology, clinical research, epidemiology, field based trials and social and behavioral research. An Institute devoted exclusively to HIV/ AIDS that could undertake research of such a diversity and magnitude was established to meet this requirement. National AIDS Research Institute (NARI) was established in October 1992 in Bhosari, Pune on a seven acre plot. The Institute has progressively expanded its activities in various aspects of research on HIV and AIDS through infra-structural development, capacity building & research programmes. The activities of NARI are supported by the ICMR & numerous extramural agencies. For the fiscal year 2005-2006 the ICMR allocated 5.66 crores for NARI. Additionally, over 13 crores have been generated through extramural sources. The Institute''s research activities are guided by a Scientific Advisory Committee which includes eminent scientists from varied disciplines. All research projects are reviewed & approved by the Ethics Committee which also ensures that research is conducted with highest ethical standards. Establishment of a Community Advisory Board which acts as an interface between the community and the researchers is a pioneering effort by NARI.
