OKCAM (Ontology-based Knowledgebase for Cell Adhesion Molecules) is an online resource for human genes known or predicted to be related to the processes of cell adhesion. These genes include members of the cadherin, immunoglobulin/FibronectinIII (IgFn), integrin, neurexin, neuroligin, and catenin families. Totally 496 human CAM genes were compiled and annotated. We have mapped these genes onto a novel cell adhesion molecule ontology (CAMO) that provides a hierarchical description of cell adhesion molecules and their functions. It is intended to provide a means to facilitate better and better understanding of the global and specific properties of CAMs through their genomic features, regulatory modes, expression patterns and disease associations become clearer. You may browse by CAM ontology, Chromosomes and Full Gene list.

The MITRE Corporation is a not-for-profit organization chartered to work in the public interest. As a national resource, we apply our expertise in systems engineering, information technology, operational concepts, and enterprise modernization to address our sponsors'' critical needs. MITRE manages Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs): one for the Department of Defense (known as the DoD Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence FFRDC), one for the Federal Aviation Administration (the Center for Advanced Aviation System Development), one for the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (the Center for Enterprise Modernization), and one for the Department of Homeland Security (the Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute). We believe that each FFRDC benefits from being part of an independent, not-for-profit company managing multiple FFRDCs. MITRE also has its own independent research and development program that explores new technologies and new uses of technologies to solve our sponsors'' problems in the near-term and in the future. MITRE has 7,000 scientists, engineers and support specialists65 percent of whom have Masters or Ph.D. degrees. Staff members work on hundreds of different projects across the company, demanding a high level of technical, operational, and domain knowledge. The MITRE Corporation has two principal locations: Bedford, Massachusetts, and McLean, Virginia. MITRE also has additional sites across the country and around the world.

SpikeNET is a program designed for simulating very large networks of asynchronous spiking neurons. Neurons are simulated with a limited number of parameters that includes classic properties like the post-synaptic potential and threshold, but also more novel features like dendritic sensitivity. SpikeNET can be used to simulate networks with millions of neurons and hundreds of millions of synaptic weights. Optimization of computation time and the aim of real time computation has been one of the driving forces behind the development of SpikeNET. It works on Unix. What SpikeNET can do * Perform image processing using biologically plausible network of neurons. * Simulate millions of integrate-and-fire neurons organized in retinotopical maps. * Connect these neuronal maps using projection files, and regroup common synaptic weights to save memory in order to be able to declare several hundreds of billions of synaptic connections. * Convert gray level images into lists of spikes (also SpikeNET can perform a variety of preprocessing on the input images). * Implement a complex mechanism for projection between neuronal maps of different sizes. * Implement supervised learning. * Implement the efficient neuronal Rank-Order-Coding scheme (optional)

AlloSource is a non-profit organization founded in 1994 on a promise to honor and respect the gift of donation by responsibly developing, processing and distributing life-saving and life-enhancing allografts for our communities. Today, each of our 300 employees continues to fulfill this promise through multi-shift, 360-day processing to the highest quality and service standards. We strive to be the tissue network patients and the world''s most respected transplant teams ask for by name. This is accomplished by understanding the needs of our doctors and by providing the best tissue for our recipients. We offer more than 200 standard and customized precision allograft products, and act as a trusted and knowledgeable partner to the medical community, all with the intention of maximizing medical impact. In 1995, Allosource evolved from a local tissue bank in Denver, Colorado into a national organization serving communities around the country. Today, AlloSource is one of the largest, most respected tissue banks in the United States. Through our growth we''ve remained committed to the wishes of donor families, the needs of our surgeon customers, and the hopes of our patient recipients. Our promise of doing more with life reflects our unwavering focus on integrity, quality, safety, and respect today, and into the future.

Narayana Hrudayalaya Tissue Bank and Stem Cell Research Center (NHTB-SCRC) is a joint venture between Rotary Bangalore Health City (RBHC) and Narayana Hrudayalaya. Our mission is to create awareness on Cord Blood Banking among the masses. Our vision is to make sure that every pregnant mother in India is able to afford to bank her child''s cord blood and cord tissue in a novel form of ������??Biological Insurance������??. The center would also assist in research and development of newer stem cell therapies. These goals are met while ensuring patient safety and well being by maintaining compliance with ICMR guidelines, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines, strict confidentiality and adherence to ethical standards. The private cord blood bank would store cord-blood and cord tissue derived stem cells for the exclusive use of clients who would pay for the cryo-storage, for a period of 21 years. These samples would be used for the child or its siblings anytime in the future, for therapy of various medical conditions. The public cord blood bank would enable us to collect cord blood from delivery and birthing centers, process these specimens, type their HLA signature and store them in ultra-low temperature conditions for use on prospective recipients. These recipients would have to be matched against their HLA signature with the stored stem cell concentrate. Patients with a disease treatable by stem cell therapy would have to have their HLA type known and they approach us for treatment. Such patients would be matched against our library of samples to identify a suitable match which would then be issued at a nominal cost. The cost of therapy would however be separate and informed to the patient before embarking on the treatment.
