THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on April 26, 2011. Information for depositors Investigators who are willing to share mice with the PD research community through this resource should send an email to PDMice_at_ninds.nih.gov describing the mouse. The submission will be reviewed by the PD Models Repository Oversight Committee and, if accepted, a copy of the MTA will be sent by return email. NINDS is most interested in distributing mice that have been characterized in a peer-reviewed publication, but other models will certainly be considered. The email should describe the following: The protocol for identification from tail DNA. The health report of the mice to be shipped (the report has to be less than 2 months old). Information about the strain and any special needs for care and breeding. Information about any publications involving the mice Certification that mice are not encumbered by continuing intellectual property or other rights to any research, data or discovery utilizing the animals. Information for consumers Investigators desiring to study the mice available through the repository should send a request via email to PDMice_at_ninds.nih.gov. Requests will be reviewed by the PD Models Repository Oversight Committee and priority will be determined on a first come, first served basis; two breeding pairs will typically be shipped to any single requester. As detailed in the MTA, mice are not available for commercial research, including but not limited to drug screening. Neither the creator nor UCLA have a role in the governance of the Repository, and specifically, cannot impose conditions upon availability or distribution. It is anticipated that until the Repository is in a mode of steady state production, requests will be collected and mice distributed as supply allows. The email requesting mice should include: A brief description of the protocol Either a copy of the IACUC approval letter or numberNINDS/UCLA Repository for Parkinson's Disease Mouse Models: One of the most immediate and important benefits of discoveries regarding the genetic or environmental causes of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the subsequent development of animal models wherein therapeutic and/or preventative interventions may be studied. The widespread availability of such models is critically important to making progress against a disorder that affects more than 500,000 Americans at any given time. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) fully recognizes the burden placed on investigators by the financial and logistical realities of distributing high demand research resources. Some investigators have deposited their mice with national distribution facilities but many mouse models are not available through such resources. Developing means to facilitate greater sharing of mouse models of PD is one of the goals developed by the PD research community at the July 2002 summit meeting convened by the NIH Director. Accordingly, as part of the effort to accelerate PD research, NINDS and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) created a resource that will distribute transgenic mouse models of human PD that are not yet available through national commercial resources. Investigators who are willing to share mice with the PD research community can simply arrange with NINDS to have the mice deposited at UCLA and investigators desiring to study the mice may arrange with NINDS to obtain two breeding pairs. The process will use Material Transfer Agreements created specifically for this arrangement.

Microtomy is a standard technique used for 2D microscopy, but it can also provide the foundation for 3D analysis using AutoAligner. AutoAligner reads a stack of serial sections and automatically aligns the single images, building up a 3D space that can be explored using Imaris. Each image is aligned in translation and rotation relative to its precursor image in the sequence. In addition to a fully automated mode, AutoAligner also provides manual control for neighboring images that are too different from each other for automatic alignment. The visual alignment tool uses fast display techniques for aligning images in real time.

Database of physiological, pharmacological, and pathological information on humans and other organisms and integration through computational modeling. Models include everything from diagrammatic schema, suggesting relationships among elements composing a system, to fully quantitative, computational models describing the behavior of physiological systems and an organism''s response to environmental change. Each mathematical model is an internally self-consistent summary of available information, and thereby defines a working hypothesis about how a system operates. Predictions from such models are subject to test, with new results leading to new models.BR /> A Tool developed for the NSR Physiome project is JSim, an open source, free software. JSim is a Java-based simulation system for building quantitative numeric models and analyzing them with respect to experimental reference data. JSim''s primary focus is in physiology and biomedicine, however its computational engine is quite general and applicable to a wide range of scientific domains. JSim models may intermix ODEs, PDEs, implicit equations, integrals, summations, discrete events and procedural code as appropriate. JSim''s model compiler can automatically insert conversion factors for compatible physical units as well as detect and reject unit unbalanced equations. JSim also imports the SBML and CellML model archival formats. All JSim models are open source. Goals of the Physiome Project: - To develop and database observations of physiological phenomenon and interpret these in terms of mechanism (a fundamentally reductionist goal). - To integrate experimental information into quantitative descriptions of the functioning of humans and other organisms (modern integrative biology glued together via modeling). - To disseminate experimental data and integrative models for teaching and research. - To foster collaboration amongst investigators worldwide, to speed up the discovery of how biological systems work. - To determine the most effective targets (molecules or systems) for therapy, either pharmaceutic or genomic. - To provide information for the design of tissue-engineered, biocompatible implants.
