Neurons

A neuron is a cell that can transmit electrical and chemical signals. Furthermore, neurons are considered the building blocks of the nervous system and make up the major nerve pathways responsible for communicating information throughout the body.

In addition, neurons, also known as nerve cells, send and receive signals from your brain. Although neurons have a lot in common with other types of cells, they’re structurally and functionally unique.

Specifically, a neuron is a cell that can transmit electrical and chemical signals. In particular, neurons are responsible for carrying information throughout the human body. By using electrical and chemical signals, they help coordinate all of the necessary functions of life.

Moreover, the nervous system detects what is going on around us and inside of the body. Consequently, the nervous system decides how we should act, alters the state of internal organs (such as the heart rate changes), and allows us to think about and remember what is going on. To accomplish this, it relies on a sophisticated network of neurons.

Additionally, specialized projections called axons allow neurons to transmit electrical and chemical signals to other cells. On the other hand, neurons can also receive these signals via rootlike extensions known as dendrites.

Moreover, at birth, the human brain consists of an estimated 100 billion neurons. Furthermore, unlike other cells, neurons don’t reproduce or regenerate. Consequently, they aren’t replaced once they die. The creation of new nerve cells is called neurogenesis. While this process isn’t well understood, it may occur in some parts of the brain after birth.

Biospecimens

biospecimens

Bay Biosciences is a global leader in providing researchers with high quality, clinical grade, fully characterized human tissue samples, bio-specimens, and human bio-fluid collections.

Moreover, human biospecimens are available including tumor tissue, serum, plasma and PBMC samples from most other therapeutic areas.

Furthermore, Bay Biosciences maintains and manages its own biorepository, the human tissue bank (biobank) consisting of thousands of diseased samples (specimens) and likewise normal healthy donors for controls. Additionally, available in all formats and types.

In fact, our biobank procures and stores fully consented, de-identified and institutional review boards (IRB) approved human tissue samples, human biofluids such as serum samples, plasma samples from various diseases and matched controls.

Also, all our human tissue collections, human biospecimens and human biofluids are provided with detailed, samples associated patient’s clinical data.

In fact, this critical patient’s clinical data includes information relating to their past and current disease, treatment history, lifestyle choices, biomarkers, and genetic information.

Additionally, researchers find the patient’s data associated with the human biospecimens extremely valuable and use it to help identify new effective treatments (drug discovery & development) in oncology, as well as in other therapeutic areas and diseases.

Bay Biosciences banks wide variety of human tissue samples and human biological samples, including fresh frozen human biospecimens cryogenically preserved at – 80°C.

For example fresh frozen tissue samples, tumor tissue samples, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE), tissue slides, with matching human bio-fluids, whole blood and blood-derived products such as human serum, human plasma and human PBMCs.

Bay Biosciences is a global leader in collecting and providing human tissue samples according to the specified requirements and customized, tailor-made collection protocols.

Please contact us anytime to discuss your special research projects and customized human tissue sample requirements.

Types of Biospecimens

Bay Biosciences provides human tissue samples (human specimens) and human biofluids from diseased and normal healthy donors which includes:

Moreover, we can also procure most human biospecimens and human biofluids, special collections and requests for human samples that are difficult to find. All our human tissue samples and human biofluids are procured through IRB-approved clinical protocols and procedures.

In addition to the standard processing protocols, Bay Biosciences can also provide human biofluids such as  human plasma, human serum, and human PBMCs bio-fluid samples using custom processing protocols; you buy donor-specific collections in higher volumes and specified sample aliquots from us.

Bay Biosciences also provides human biospecimens from normal healthy donors; volunteers, for controls and clinical research, Contact us Now.
