Down syndrome, the most common form of intellectual disability, results from the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21.

read moreBiological samples from nonhuman primates are now available from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Aging Cell Repository. The collection of nonhuman primate biomaterials available for distribution has recently been expanded to include 27 unique species, up from 10 previously. Several species have a broad representation of sex and age.
read moreHow might your aging research benefit from or contribute to the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Aging Cell Repository? A recent webinar hosted by the NIA's Research Centers Collaborative Network explored the background of the collection held at Coriell, an introduction to induced pluripotent stem cells, and and the important role the Aging Cell Repository plays in aging research today.
read moreThree novel human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines have been added to the Aging Cell Repository of the National Institute on Aging (NIA), a biorepository of cell lines and DNA that includes samples from aging cohorts and premature aging disorders. The biorepository has been in the care of the Coriell Institute for Medical Research for nearly 50 years.
read moreThe samples – a total of 351 lymphoblastoid cell lines – are associated with a long-term study of aging known as The 90+ Study. The 90+ Study is administered by a team of scientists from the University of California Irvine and its goal is to investigate the basic lifestyle and biological factors which underlie advanced aging.
read moreA pair of new induced pluripotent stem cell lines has been added to the Aging Cell Repository, a collection of biomaterials sponsored by the National Institute on Aging (NIA).
read moreTwo new lines of induced pluripotent stem cells are now available to researchers through the National Institute on Aging’s Aging Cell Repository, housed and distributed by the Coriell Institute for Medical Research. The addition of these two lines brings the total number of highly-characterized iPSC lines offered through this collection to five.
