The International Zebrafish Protein Trap Consortium welcomes you to our database. We currently have teams in the United States, Germany, India, Canada, and Singapore implementing gene-break transposons to create expression-tagged, revertible mutations in zebrafish genes. We provide database services on zfishbook for GBT mutagenesis projects in zebrafish regardless of scale to promote shared use of these valuable resources. (...) zfishbook is a real-time database with full and unrestricted access to all information. Registration allows you to save your favorite lines for easy access, request lines from the Mayo Clinic catalog, contribute to line annotation with appropriate credit, and puts you on an optional mailing list for future zfishbook newletters and updates. We welcome participation from any and all of our peer zebrafish colleagues. Therefore please consider registering to help annotate your favorite tissues and expression domains. ...

The newt Notopthalmus viridescens is the master of regeneration. This organism is known for more than 200 years for its exceptional regenerative capabilities. Newts can completely replace lost appendages like limb and tail, lens and retina and parts of the central nervous system. Moreover, after cardiac injury newts can rebuild the functional myocardium with no scar formation. To date only very limited information from public databases is available. Newt-Omics aims to provide a comprehensive platform of expressed genes during tissue regeneration, including extensive annotations, expression data and experimentally verified peptide sequences with yet no homology to other publically available gene sequences. The goal is to obtain a detailed understanding of the molecular processes underlying tissue regeneration in the newt,that may lead to the development of approaches, efficiently stimulating regenerative pathways in mammalians. ...

Most organisms have a defined lifespan, however life of a species continues and evolves via germline from generation to generation. Recent studies show that tissue stem cells share molecular and developmental signatures with the germline and that even fully differentiated, postmitotic cells can be reprogrammed to regain totipotency. This EMBO/EMBL Symposium will go beyond a description of the phenomena involving stem cell behaviour, programming and reprogramming. It will bring together researchers from different disciplines, who will address fundamental questions of totipotency as they relate to evolution, development and tissue specialization. ...

The Australia & NZ zebrafish conference is a must for researchers using (or planning to use) the zebrafish model system. The meeting will feature exciting plenary talks from leading international researchers, and excellent research from New Zealand, Australia and beyond. This meeting is the premier forum for the exchange of new ideas, presentation of research outcomes, discussion of emerging technologies and forging of collaborations for the Australasian and Pacific zebrafish research community. ...

Driven by a need to improve our understanding of molecular processes that are common and unique across cancer stem cells (CSCs), we have developed the Stem Cell Discovery Engine (SCDE)—an online database of curated CSC experiments coupled to the Galaxy analytical framework. The SCDE allows users to consistently describe, share and compare CSC data at the gene and pathway level. Our initial focus has been on carefully curating tissue and cancer stem cell-related experiments from blood, intestine and brain to create a high quality resource containing 53 public studies and 1098 assays. The experimental information is captured and stored in the multi-omics Investigation/Study/Assay (ISA-Tab) format and can be queried in the data repository. (Taken from: Shannan J.

The International Society of Developmental Biologists (ISDB) is a non-profit scientific association which has as its aim the promotion of the study of developmental biology. To this effect, the ISDB also organises and supports scientific meetings and workshops. Formerly known as the International Institute of Embryology (IIE), the ISDB was renamed in September 1968. The International Society of Developmental Biologists consists of individual members and society members. ... [Information of the supplier]
In the year 2003 scientists from around Germany initiated the establishment of the German Society for Stem Cell Research (GSZ) with emphasis on basic research in stem cell biology. The society is a non-profit organisation, financially and politically autonomous, and is registered with the district court Cologne under the number VR 14639 since November 4th 2004. The main purpose of the society is to promote stem cell research. In order to achieve this goal the society will promote the stem cell research in basic research and in academic teaching by allocating available funds to support training programs, to organize seminars and conferences, as well as instigating the exchange of students and scientists on national and international level for collaborative projects and resulting publications. ...
