Sponsored by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the AGING CELL REPOSITORY, is a resource facilitating cellular and molecular research studies on the mechanisms of aging and the degenerative processes associated with it. The cells in this resource have been collected over the past three decades using strict diagnostic criteria and banked under the highest quality standards of cell culture. Scientists use the highly-characterized, viable, and contaminant-free cell cultures from this collection for research on such diseases as Alzheimer disease, progeria, Parkinsonism, Werner syndrome, and Cockayne syndrome.
How 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.

The biorepository has been in the care of the Coriell Institute for Medical Research for nearly 50 years.

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.
