The CORTECON, a repository of gene expression in the developing cortex, is available for immediate access. The CORTECON web site, http://cortecon.neuralsci.org, provides intuitive navigation tools for browsing the transcriptional time lines of genes expressed during cortical development. Further, the CORTECON dataset is available for download in several formats from the CORTECON web site as well as from NCBI’s Gene Expression Omnibus.
Neural Stem Cell Institute receives $300,000 grant for Research on Potential Cure for Macular Degeneration. Troy Record
The Neural Stem Cell Institute (NSCI) is dedicated to developing regenerative stem cell therapies for various diseases of the central nervous system (CNS): the brain, spinal cord and retina, regardless of the cause of injury. Led by MacArthur “Genius” Award winner Dr. Sally Temple who helped discover and define nervous system stem cells, NSCI is the first independent, non-profit stem cell research institute in the USA.
