The Repository has human cell cultures from individuals with aging-related conditions. These include disorders of accelerated aging (e.g., progeria, Werner syndrome, Cockayne syndrome, Rothmund-Thomson syndrome, and Down syndrome) and cell cultures from familial Alzheimer disease extended pedigrees. The collection also includes specially characterized normal human diploid fibroblast cultures (IMR90 and IMR91) and over 500 skin fibroblast cultures from subjects participating in the NIA-sponsored Gerontology Research Center Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. In addition, the Aging Cell Repository has human and animal differentiated cell cultures (epithelial, endothelial, and smooth muscle), human mammary epithelial and keratinocyte cell cultures, and fibroblast cultures from animals with different life spans. Menus are provided to allow users to search for cell cultures in a variety of ways including Repository number, MIM number, disease description, gene mutation, as well as sample type and animal species.
