Application Title:
Shared Resource Laboratory for Stem Cell-Based Modeling: Resources for Exploring the Biological Underpinnings of Aging and Age-Associated Pathologies
Public Abstract:
We seek to engage more Californians in stem cell research by providing access to cell models (including those for modeling the aging brain) derived from a uniquely characterize human cohort, thereby progressing toward better treatment options for age-associated neurological disorders.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The distribution of quality-controlled stem cell resources will provide numerous avenues for California researchers to make important strides toward understanding aging and neurodegeneration, potentially leading to breakthroughs in diagnostics and therapeutics. Emphasis on training and the standardization of cell resources and protocols will foster reproducible research, bring new Californians into the stem cell field, and ensure that the state remains at the forefront of stem cell biology.
