This portal provides information about the neuroscience department at the University of Cambridge. Cambridge has a strong tradition in neuroscience having been host to the first analyses of neural signaling in the 1930s, determined the mechanisms of neuronal firing in the 1950s, and heralded some of the early theoretical approaches to the functions of neural circuitry in the 1960s. Neuroscience continues to grow at Cambridge, with an impressive record of achievement in multidisciplinary research.

http://madrc.mgh.harvard.edu/

An Alzheimer's disease research center which supports new research and enhances ongoing research by providing core support to bringing together behavioral, biomedical, and clinical scientists. The Center conducts multidisciplinary research, trains scientists, and spreads information about Alzheimer's disease and related disorders to the general public. The principal goal of the Massachusetts ADRC is to support research in aging, Alzheimer's Disease and other related disorders. Researchers work with national and international multi-disciplinary teams to understand: normal aging, the transition from normal aging to mild forms of memory problems, and the later stages of dementia. The Massachusetts ADRC has an active brain donation program at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) for patients as well as subjects enrolled in research studies.

The Transgenic Hydra Facility is a non-profit facility in the laboratory of Thomas Bosch at the University of Kiel that assists scientists to use and to develop transgenic Hydra polyps. Our mission is to provide investigators access to the latest technology for the efficient production of transgenic polyps. We particularly encourage scientists from laboratories lacking the infrastructure for transgenic Hydra technologies to use our services. Abstract: Understanding the evolution of development in large part relies on the study of phylogenetically old organisms. Cnidarians, such as Hydra, have become attractive model organisms for these studies. However, despite long-term efforts, stably transgenic animals could not be generated, severely limiting the functional analysis of genes. Here we report the efficient generation of transgenic Hydra lines by embryo microinjection. One of these transgenic lines expressing EGFP revealed remarkably high motility of individual endodermal epithelial cells during morphogenesis. We expect that transgenic Hydra will become important tools to dissect the molecular mechanisms of development at the base of the Metazoan tree. Sponsors: Financial support for this research was provided by the German Research Foundation [Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft Grants B0848/13 and SFB617.

http://www.ttuhsc.edu/centers/aging/giabrainbank.aspx

The Brain Bank was developed with two service-minded objectives: provide a free brain autopsy to confirm clinical diagnosis of dementia, and collect, bank and provide brain tissue to qualified scientific researchers studying diseases related to dementia. By working together, patients and researchers can help us understand the origins of neurodegenerative disease and eventually improve the treatment and care of dementia. The clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can only be confirmed by brain autopsy, or the examination of brain tissue after death. This examination will determine a patients's precise type of dementia. To confirm the diagnosis of Alzheimer's, for example, the brain tissue is examined for amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles by a neuropathologist. The presence of these plaques and tangles will verify the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. While it is important to us to enroll patients with dementia, it is equally important to enroll people with no dementia. These subjects are termed as controls and the brain tissue from controls will enable researchers to make comparisons to brain tissue from dementia patients. We are seeking donations from individuals who have had an age-related neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lewy Body or other related dementia.

http://go.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/GOTermFinder

The Generic GO Term Finder finds the significant GO terms shared among a list of genes from an organism, displaying the results in a table and as a graph (showing the terms and their ancestry). The user may optionally provide background information or a custom gene association file or filter evidence codes. This tool is capable of batch processing multiple queries at once. GO::TermFinder comprises a set of object-oriented Perl modules GO::TermFinder can be used on any system on which Perl can be run, either as a command line application, in single or batch mode, or as a web-based CGI script. This implementation, developed at the Lewis-Sigler Institute at Princeton, depends on the GO-TermFinder software written by Gavin Sherlock and Shuai Weng at Stanford University and the GO:View module written by Shuai Weng. It is made publicly available through the GMOD project. The full source code and documentation for GO:TermFinder are freely available from http://search.cpan.org/dist/GO-TermFinder/.

APID Interactomes (Agile Protein Interactomes DataServer) provides information on the protein interactomes of numerous organisms, based on the integration of known experimentally validated protein-protein physical interactions (PPIs). The interactome data includes a report on quality levels and coverage over the proteomes for each organism included. APID integrates PPIs from primary databases of molecular interactions (BIND, BioGRID, DIP, HPRD, IntAct, MINT) and also from experimentally resolved 3D structures (PDB) where more than two distinct proteins have been identified. This collection references protein interactors, through a UniProt identifier.

http://wiki.c2b2.columbia.edu/honiglab_public/index.php/Software:DelPhi

DelPhi provides numerical solutions to the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (both linear and nonlinear form) for molecules of arbitrary shape and charge distribution. The current version is fast, accurate, and can handle extremely high lattice dimensions. It also includes flexible features for assigning different dielectric constants to different regions of space and treating systems containing mixed salt solutions. DelPhi takes as input a coordinate file format of a molecule or equivalent data for geometrical objects and/or charge distributions and calculates the electrostatic potential in and around the system, using a finite difference solution to the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. DelPhi is a versatile electrostatics simulation program that can be used to investigate electrostatic fields in a variety of molecular systems. Features of DelPhi include solutions to mixtures of salts of different valence; solutions to different dielectric constants to different regions of space; and estimation of the best relaxation parameter at run time.

http://researchblogging.org/

Aggregator of blogs about new developments in science and other fields that allows readers to easily find blog posts about serious peer-reviewed research, instead of just news reports and press releases. If you''re a blogger who writes about serious research, Research Blogging offers you a way to distinguish your serious posts from news, politics, family, bagpipes, and so on. They can direct your regular readers - and new readers - to the posts you''ve worked the hardest to create. All you need to get started is a blog and a peer-reviewed research report that you''d like to discuss. How it works * Bloggers -- often experts in their field -- find exciting new peer-reviewed research they''d like to share. They write thoughtful posts about the research for their blogs. * Bloggers register and use a simple one-line form to create a snippet of code to place in their posts. This snippet not only notifies this site about their post, it also creates a properly formatted research citation for their blog. * Their software automatically scans registered blogs for posts containing their code snippet. When it finds them, it indexes them and displays them on their front page -- thousands of posts from hundreds of blogs, in one convenient place, organized by topic. * Their editors identify the notable posts in each major discipline, publishing the results on their news page. * Other services like PubGet index their database as well, so every time readers search for a journal article, they can also locate blog posts discussing the article. * The quality of the posts listed on their site is monitored by the member bloggers. If a post doesn''t follow their guidelines, it is removed from their database. Borderline cases may be discussed publicly on the blog as well. Bloggers are also provided with an icon they can use to show when they''re talking about a peer-reviewed work that they''ve read and analyzed closely. There are already over seven thousand blog posts using the icon, and now it''s easier than ever to find them.
