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.

The Graduate Program in Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego offers an outstanding opportunity for graduate training in one of the most highly interactive scientific environments available in the United States. Recently, our graduate program was named by the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences as the top-ranking neuroscience graduate program in the country. The faculty who participate in the Graduate Program in Neurosciences have been brought together from many campus departments, the School of Medicine and from a number of affiliated institutes, including the Salk Institute, the Scripps Research Institute, the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the UCSD Medical Center, and the Veterans Administration Medical Center. Because there is an enormous breadth of neuroscience research interests represented among the faculty, students are able to pursue study in a wide range of neuroscience areas and they often carry out their dissertation research in collaboration with more than one laboratory. Sponsors: FUnding for this program comes from the University of California at San Diego.

MindSpec is a nonprofit organization that utilizes innovative bioinformatics strategies to accelerate research on common neurodevelopmental disorders. With our research we hope to foster discovery and development of treatments that alleviate the symptoms of affected individuals. Our core mission at MindSpec is to advance research on neurodevelopmental conditions. Founded in 2006, MindSpec is an independent, non-profit research organization established to facilitate the discovery of a cure for autism. Although the initial focus was autism, we have gradually expanded our scope to other neurological disorders. We develop bioinformatics strategies using current information technology platforms to build disease specific databases. At MindSpec we place a strong emphasis on translational research, that is, closing the gap between basic science discoveries and practical treatments with the potential of benefiting people who have autism. Goals: * Build an integrated, up-to-date, relevant, searchable resource on autism, AutDB. * Build a community of scientists, practitioners, educators, policymakers and people affected by autism to share and disseminate knowledge of autism. * Identify gaps in autism research around the world. * Identify priority areas in autism research based on real-world needs. * Build an autism dictionary and digital information library. * Address cultural differences in treatments for autism, a social disease. * Build knowledge about autism for immediate use.

CRBS is a UCSD organized research unit (ORU) that exists to provide human resources, high technology equipment, and administrative services to researchers engaged in fundamental research on cell structure and function relationships in central nervous system processes, cardiovascular networking, and muscular contraction through multiple scales and modalities. CRBS scientists investigate these processes through invention, refinement, and deployment of sophisticated technologies, especially: - High-powered electron microscopes that reveal three-dimensional cell structures - State-of-the-art X-ray crystallography and magnetic resonance analysis that provide detail on protein structures at high-resolution - Laser-scanning and confocal light microscopes that reveal molecules tagged with fluorescent markers as they traffic within cells and pass transfer signals within and between cells - High performance computing and grid-based integration of distributed data CRBS facilitates an interdisciplinary infrastructure in which people from biology, medicine, chemistry, and physics can work with those from computer science and information technologies in collaborative research. Researchers share interests in the study of complex biological systems at many scales, from the structures of enzymes, proteins, and the body's chemical communications network at atomic and molecular levels, to an organism's physiology, strength, and support at cellular and tissue levels. The CRBS infrastructure integrates resources for high-performance computing, visualization, and database technologies, and the grid-integration of large amounts of archival storage data. The California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Cal-IT2) and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) are collaborators in simulating the activity of biological systems, analyzing the results, and organizing the growing storehouse of biological information. CRBS is an entity evolving as research evolves. It forges interactions with biotechnology and biocomputing companies for technology transfer. Interaction, collaboration, and multiscale research produce new perspectives, reveal fruitful research topics, lead to the development of new technologies and drugs, and train a new generation of researchers in biological systems. Sponsors: CRBS is supported by the University of California at San Diego.

FRAXA's mission is to accelerate progress toward effective treatments and ultimately a cure for Fragile X, by directly funding the most promising research. FRAXA also supports families affected by Fragile X and raises awareness of this important but relatively unknown disease. FRAXA was founded in 1994 by three parents of children with Fragile X, Katie Clapp, Michael Tranfaglia MD, and Kathy May, to support scientific research aimed at finding a treatment and a cure for Fragile X. Fragile X research is drastically underfunded, considering its high prevalence, prospects for a cure, and the promise that this research holds for advancing understanding of other disorders like autism, Alzheimer's disease, and X-linked mental retardation. FRAXA funds grants and fellowships at universities all over the world. We have funded more than $17 million dollars in top-notch science. FRAXA's management expenses have always been just 4% or less of income, as we have just one full-time staff, three part time staff, and hundreds of volunteer parents. Since FRAXA was founded, the Fragile X field has grown tremendously, due in large part to our grass-roots efforts. You can help us accomplish much more. FRAXA is a 501c3 tax-exempt organization; Tax ID 04-3222167
