Latest publications: ELDERMET research has recently been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (USA). This work focuses on the composition and stability of the intestinal bacteria in older Irish adults. Read the paper here. Would you like to be part of ELDERMET? We are currently looking for people, aged 65 years or older, living in the community. All we ask is that you live in the Cork area, or are willing to travel to Cork, and have recently (within the last two/three weeks) taken any kind of antibiotic. It doesnt matter if you are still taking the antibiotic, as long as the finishing date isnt more than four weeks before your first visit to ELDERMET. ELDERMET Objectives To assess the composition of the faecal microbiota of elderly volunteers in the Irish population, using state-of-the-art molecular techniques. To correlate diversity, composition, and metabolic potential of the faecal microbial metagenome with health, diet and lifestyle indices that are a) likely to be influenced by the microbiota or b) to influence the microbiota. To develop recommendations for specific dietary ingredients, foodstuffs, functional foods and/or dietary supplements, that will improve the health of elderly consumers. To provide evidence-based recommendations for prospective studies to determine the molecular mechanisms for health improvements promoted by specific food ingredients that modulate components of the microbiota. ELDERMET Rationale The human intestinal microbiota is made up of approximately 1000 genetically unique organisms (phylotypes ) [1]. The bacteria present in the intestine make an important contribution to: metabolism executed in the gut [2] health, in diverse activites from pain perception [3] to cognitive function [4]. There is an increasing body of evidence linking alterations in the human gut microbiota with Inflammatory Bowel Disease [5, 6] and Irritable Bowel Syndrome [7]. The changing pattern of the gut microbiota in elderly subjects [8, 9] may be linked to host changes such as immunosenescence, increased susceptibility to disease and potentially systemic effects. The composition of the intestinal microbiota may be modulated by dietary components including prebiotics [10]. ELDERMET will determine the baseline composition of the gut microbiota of several hundred elderly Irish subjects using a combination of traditional culutre and molecular (culture-independent) methodologies. ELDERMET will explore potential correlations between microbiota composition and a range of health indices; cross-referencing data to dietary intake. Data will be analyzed in the context of the related FHRI projects in Nutrigenomics, Food Consumption, Food Safety, and Diet-Health. ELDERMET will provide recommendations to all stakeholders (including health practitioners and the health service, the food industry and the general public) on how to improve health based on defined modifications to dietary intake. Sponsor. This work is supported by the Goverment of Ireland Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Food/Health Research Board Food for Health Research Initiative award to the ELDERMET project as well as by a Science Foundation Ireland award to the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre. M.J.C. is now funded by a fellowship from the Health Research Board of Ireland.

http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site

Open tools to support data management for biological light microscopy produced by a multi-site collaborative effort among academic laboratories and a number of commercial entities. Designed to interact with existing commercial software, all OME formats and software are free, and all OME source code is available under the GNU General public license or through commercial license from Glencoe Software. OME is developed as a joint project between research-active laboratories at the Dundee, NIA Baltimore, and Harvard Medical School and LOCI. In addition, OME has active collaborations with many imaging and informatics groups. While many other applications could use OME''s architecture and design, their specific implementation is focused on biological and biomedical imaging. Those interested in applying OME''s technology to other applications should contact the developers. OME work is divided into several different standards and software projects: * Bio-Formats: A Java-based library for reading and writing over 90 microscopy file formats. * OMERO Software: The Java-based OMERO software project, which currently includes tools for storing, visualizing, managing, and annotating microscopic images and metadata. * OME-XML & OME-TIFF: The OME-XML and OME-TIFF file format specifications, which are open file formats for sharing microscope image data. * OME Server: This was the original OME server project which has now ended and is a legacy product. It implements image-based analysis of cellular dynamics and image-based screening of cellular localization or phenotypes, and included a fully developed version of the 2003 version of OME-XML Schema language.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 26, 2019. Database of leaf senescence to collect SAGs, mutants, phenotypes and literature references. Leaf senescence has been recognized as the last phase of plant development, a highly ordered process regulated by genes called SAGs. By integrating the data from mutant studies and transgenic analysis, they collected many SAGs related to regulation of the leaf senescence in various species. Additionally, they have categorized SAGs according to their functions in regulation of leaf senescence and used standard criteria to describe senescence associated phenotypes for mutants. Users are welcome to submit the new SAGs.

A not for profit organization to accelerate research into aging by sharing resources: providing access to cost and time effective, aged murine tissue through a biorepository and database of live ageing colonies, as well as promoting the networking of researchers and dissemination of knowledge through its online collaborative environment; MiCEPACE. ShARM will provide valuable resources for the scientific community while helping to reduce the number of animals used in vital research into aging. The biobank of tissue and networking facility will enable scientists to access shared research material and data. By making use of collective resources, the number of individual animals required in research experiments can be minimized. The project also has the added value of helping to reduce the costs of research by connecting scientists, pooling resource and combining knowledge. ShARM works in partnership with MRC Harwell and the Centre for Intergrated Research into Musculoskeletal Ageing (CIMA).

http://www.uky.edu/coa/ADC

Alzheimer's Disease Center that serves as the focal point for all Alzheimer's disease-related activities at the University of Kentucky and the Commonwealth of Kentucky providing an environment and core resources that catalyze innovative research, outreach, education, and clinical programs. Their ADC plans to build on its historic strengths and capitalize on emerging opportunities to provide an infrastructure that supports research designed to translate knowledge into therapeutic strategies for AD. They focus on two interrelated themes: Transitions and Translation. Their overall emphasis is to more effectively bridge the gap between basic research and clinical studies by facilitating translational efforts. They also carefully characterize transitions across the spectrum of cognitive impairment (normal/ preclinical AD/ MCI/ dementia), with focus on definition of early disease, and continue to support neuropathology as the bedrock of our center. The Alzheimer Disease Center's 2006-2011 grant award from the National Institute on Aging consists of five cores: * Administrative Core * Clinical Core * Biostatistics and Data Management Core * Neuropathology Core * Education & Information Transfer Core
