International private stem cell storage bank to collect, assess and cryogenically store living tooth cells from deciduous baby teeth. Tooth cell banking is a safe, natural and completely noninvasive method of collecting and preserving valuable stem cells which could hold the key to your child's health. Simply enroll, send us your child's tooth when it falls out, and they'll do the rest. Stem cell treatment to repair or replace damaged tissues or organs is the cornerstone of future medical science. Children's milk teeth, (baby teeth) have been identified as a rich source of these stem cells and have the potential to treat some of the worst illnesses and diseases facing people today. Stem cells from teeth (mesenchymal stem cells) are different from those found in cord blood (hematopoietic stem cells). Cord blood cells can be used to treat blood disorders such as leukemia, but stem cells from teeth are different. Stem cells from teeth can be used to grow a range of tissues including bone, nerve, fat, muscle and cartilage and may one day be used to grow entire organs. It is widely believed that stem cells will be used to treat a wide variety of diseases and injuries within the next decade. Their UK facility is regulated by the Human Tissue Authority (HTA), and they hold a full license. They are also registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US. BioEDEN, Ltd is ISO 9001:2008 accredited by the British Assessment Bureau. When you enroll for the BioEDEN service, you will be offered the opportunity to consent to donate any excess cells. BioEDEN will provide these cells to leading academic and clinical research centers to help further the progression of this technology to useful clinical applications. BioEDEN will only provide cells to researchers that have full ethical approval for their research and will be guided by our Advisory team as to the most appropriate research to support. The cells will be donated in accordance with strict regulatory guidelines and anonymity of the donor will be strictly assured at all times. Donation of cells is an entirely opt in service. If you choose not to give consent to donate, BioEDEN will simply store the cells for your child.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on October 28,2025. A chicken EST Web site has been created to provide access to the data, and a set of unique sequences has been deposited with GenBank. This site contains over 40,000 EST sequences from the chicken cDNA libraries in the University of Delaware collection. Users can perform keyword searches, BLAST nucleotide sequences against our database, view clusters of similar or overlapping clones, and order clones. The cDNA and gene sequences of many mammalian cytokines and their receptors are known. However, corresponding information on avian cytokines is limited due to the lack of cross-species activity at the functional level or strong homology at the molecular level. To improve the efficiency of identifying cytokines and novel chicken genes, a directionally cloned cDNA library from T-cell-enriched activated chicken splenocytes was constructed, and the partial sequence of 5251 clones was obtained. Sequence clustering indicates that 2357 (42%) of the clones are present as a single copy, and 2961 are distinct clones, demonstrating the high level of complexity of this library. Comparisons of the sequence data with known DNA sequences in GenBank indicate that approximately 25% of the clones match known chicken genes, 39% have similarity to known genes in other species, and 11% had no match to any sequence in the database. Several previously uncharacterized chicken cytokines and their receptors were present in our library. This collection provides a useful database for cataloging genes expressed in T cells and a valuable resource for future investigations of gene expression in avian immunology. Therefore, the Chick EST database was created.
