The British Psychological Society''s award-winning Research Digest blog provides original, authoritative reports on the latest psychology research papers. Plus we publish a few other fun features too. The Digest doesn''t just pick up on the same studies covered by the mainstream media. The editor trawls hundreds of peer-reviewed journals looking for the latest findings from across the breadth of psychological science. The aim is to write accessible, accurate reports on those studies that make an important contribution, that are relevant to real life, timely, novel or thought-provoking. We want to demonstrate how interesting and useful psychological science can be, whilst also casting a critical eye over the methods used. We also hope you''ll use the comments function to have your say on the new research reported here. There are also ''Extras'' posts with links to eye-catching studies that didn''t make the final cut, and the ''Special Issue Spotter'' with links to the latest journal special issues in psychology. Over the years there have also been a number of special guest features - look out for more in the future. In 2010 the Digest was voted best psychology blog in the inaugural Research Blogging awards.

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.

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.
