Randomized, double blind, nationwide clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of three interventions to treat adolescents and youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D): (1) metformin alone, (2) metformin plus rosiglitazone, and (3) metformin plus an intensive lifestyle intervention called the TODAY Lifestyle Program (TLP). The secondary aims are to: compare and evaluate the safety of the three treatment arms; compare the effects of the three treatments on the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with regards to beta cell function and insulin resistance, body composition, nutrition, physical activity and aerobic fitness, cardiovascular risk factors, microvascular complications, quality of life, and psychological outcomes; evaluate the influence of individual and family behaviors on treatment response; and compare the relative cost effectiveness of the three treatment arms. The study recruits patients over a three-year period and follows patients for a minimum of two years. Patients are randomized within two years of the diagnosis of T2D. Materials that were used for the study are made publicly available: * The TODAY Standard Diabetes Education (TSDE) program, developed especially for youth with type 2 diabetes. (All participants received the TSDE program) * The TODAY Lifestyle Program (TLP) that was among the treatments tested.

An integrated resource for information on genes, QTLs and strains associated with diabetes. The portal provides easy acces to data related to both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes and Diabetes-related Obesity and Hypertension, as well as information on Diabetic Complications. View the results for all the included diabetes-related disease states or choose a disease category to get a pull-down list of diseases. A single click on a disease will provide a list of related genes, QTLs, and strains as well as a genome wide view of these via the GViewer tool. A link from GViewer to GBrowse shows the genes and QTLs within their genomic context. Additional pages for Phenotypes, Pathways and Biological Processes provide one-click access to data related to diabetes. Tools, Related Links and Rat Strain Models pages link to additional resources of interest to diabetes researchers.

National multi-center study aimed at understanding more about diabetes among children and young adults in the United States less than 20 years of age in six geographically dispersed populations that encompass the ethnic diversity of the United States. SEARCH has been helping to find answers about the types of diabetes, its complications, and how having diabetes affects the lives of children and young adults. There are more than 20,000 study participants representing all different racial and ethnic backgrounds who have helped SEARCH determine the extent of diabetes in the community and its impact on different populations. The SEARCH Study invites Investigators interested in childhood Diabetes Research to collaborate on matters of interest to the field of childhood Diabetes.

Consortium comprised of six clinical centers and a data coordinating center to facilitate coordinated clinical, epidemiological, and behavioral research in the field of bariatric surgery, through the cooperative development of common clinical protocols and a bariatric surgery database that will collect information from participating clinical centers. LABS will help pool the necessary clinical expertise and administrative resources to facilitate the conduct of multiple clinical studies in a timely, efficient manner. Also, the use of standardized definitions, clinical protocols, and data-collection instruments will enhance the investigator's ability to provide meaningful evidence-based recommendations for patient evaluation, selection, and follow-up care. The consortium was funded in September 2003. The investigators have collaboratively developed a core database and clinical protocols, and subject enrollment began in early 2005. A repository of data and biological specimens for future research also will be collected by the centers participating in LABS. These will provide valuable resources for future study of obesity and its complications.

http://neuromorpho.org/index.jsp

Centrally curated inventory of digitally reconstructed neurons associated with peer-reviewed publications that contains some of the most complete axonal arborizations digitally available in the community. Each neuron is represented by a unique identifier, general information (metadata), the original and standardized ASCII files of the digital morphological reconstruction, and a set of morphometric features. It contains contributions from over 100 laboratories worldwide and is continuously updated as new morphological reconstructions are collected, published, and shared. Users may browse by species, brain region, cell type or lab name. Users can also download morphological reconstructions for research and analysis. Deposition and distribution of reconstruction files ultimately prevents data loss. Centralized curation and annotation aims at minimizing the effort required by data owners while ensuring a unified format. It also provides a one-stop entry point for all available reconstructions, thus maximizing data visibility and impact.

http://www.addgene.org

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
