All brain tissue is procured, stored, and distributed according to applicable regulations and guidelines involving consent, protection of human subjects and donor anonymity. Brain tissue specimens are provided to researchers in academia and industry. Researchers may apply online; review usually requires three to six weeks.

The University of Florida Human Brain and Tissue Bank (UF HBTB) is a repository of human tissue that strives to advance research in the field of neurodegeneration. The UF HBTB is supported by the Florida Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC), the McKnight Brain institute, and the Center for Translational Research for Neurodegenerative ...

2024年3月26日 · The glymphatic clearance, a lymph-like process that relies on astrocytes to wash CSF through the brain, has been documented in mice. The fluid flows into brain tissue through perivascular spaces along arteries and drains out along veins (Aug 2012 news). Supporting this, a recent mouse imaging study showed CSF exiting the brain along small ...

2023年7月5日 · The value and preciousness of the human (brain) tissue require that we push the limit with this finite material to investigate the human brain’s physiological and pathophysiological properties. Along this line, we and others have utilized human organotypic brain slice cultures from cortical tissue resected due to epilepsy and/or glioma.

2023年7月7日 · Alas, human brain tissue is extremely scarce. And even when scientists can get their hands on the occasional epilepsy or tumor biopsy, neither are ideal for AD research. Epilepsy patients tend to be young adults, and both seizures and tumors confound brain structure, function, and gene expression.

2024年12月12日 · For brain tissue, the scientists uncovered 32 associations between individual variants and metabolites, tying 31 molecules to 24 loci. M-GWAS in the Brain. The abundance of some metabolites in a person’s CSF and brain associated with genetic variants in their genome. [Courtesy of Wang et al., Nature Genetics, 2024.]

2022年11月10日 · The researchers employed the relatively gentle method of aqueous soaking to extract diffusible Aβ from AD brain tissue samples. Using cryo-EM, they found that the molecular structure of the diffusible Aβ fibrils is the same as that of insoluble fibrils obtained from AD brain homogenates with the aid of the detergent sarkosyl.
