THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. Collect, store, and distribute genetic samples from cases and controls of type 1 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy for investigator-driven research into the genetic basis of diabetic nephropathy. As the risk of kidney complications in type 1 diabetes appears to have a considerable genetic component, this study assembled a large data resource for researchers attempting to identify causative genetic variants. The types of data collected allowed traditional case-control testing, a rapid and often powerful approach, and family-based analysis, a robust approach that is not influenced by population substructure.

Group of 10 academic laboratories provide pancreatic islets of cGMP-quality to eligible investigators for use in FDA approved, IRB-approved transplantation protocols in which isolated human islets are transplanted into qualified patients afflicted with type 1 diabetes mellitus; optimize the harvest, purification, function, storage, and shipment of islets while developing tests that characterize the quality and predict the effectiveness of islets transplanted into patients with diabetes mellitus; and provide pancreatic islets for basic science studies. The centers are electronically linked through an Administrative and Bioinformatics Coordinating Center (ABCC). The ABCC manages a system with objectively defined criteria that establishes the order of priority for islet distribution. It also provides database and other informatics to track the utilization of pancreata and all distributed clinical grade islets for transplant and basic research, and supports the Islet Cell Resource Centers Consortium so that the research community has a single entry point to the program. Qualified researchers from domestic institutions may request islets by submitting a written application to the director of the ABCC. The ICRs will distribute Islets as appropriate for either clinical or basic science protocol use to eligible investigators who have received a favorable review and subsequent approval by the ICR Steering Committee (SC). The Administrative and Bioinformatics Coordinating Center (ABCC) manages the distribution according to a priority list. The ABCC will give preference to investigators who have peer-reviewed, NIH-funded research support.

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 August 1, 2015. Consortium that aims to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations to advance the understanding of pancreatic islet development and function, with the goal of developing innovative therapies to correct the loss of beta cell mass in diabetes, including cell reprogramming, regeneration and replacement. They are responsible for collaboratively generating the necessary reagents, mouse strains, antibodies, assays, protocols, technologies and validation assays that are beyond the scope of any single research effort. The scientific goals for the BCBC are to: * Use cues from pancreatic development to directly differentiate pancreatic beta cells and islets from stem / progenitor cells for use in cell-replacement therapies for diabetes, * Determine how to stimulate beta cell regeneration in the adult pancreas as a basis for improving beta cell mass in diabetic patients, * Determine how to reprogram progenitor / adult cells into pancreatic beta-cells both in-vitro and in-vivo as a mean for developing cell-replacement therapies for diabetes, and * Investigate the progression of human type-1 diabetes using patient-derived cells and tissues transplanted in humanized mouse models. Many of the BCBC investigator-initiated projects involve reagent-generating activities that will benefit the larger scientific community. The combination of programs and activities should accelerate the pace of major new discoveries and progress within the field of beta cell biology.
