Bay Biosciences provides high quality, clinical grade bio-samples, cryogenically preserved human skeletal muscle biopsy tissue samples from the vastus lateralis (quadricep muscle) with matching sera (serum) and plasma biofluid samples.
The vastus lateralis also called the is the largest and most powerful part of the quadriceps femoris, a muscle in the thigh. The skeletal muscles selected for biopsy sampling are the bicep (upper arm muscle), deltoid (shoulder muscle), or quadriceps (thigh muscle). Skeletal muscle biopsy specimens are provided to a valued pharmaceutical customer for research, development and drug discovery.
Detailed clinical data, biomarkers, genetic information associated with the skeletal muscle biopsy tissue samples, pathology annotations is provided to a valued customer for research, development and drug discovery.
Human muscle biopsy tissue is used to assess the musculoskeletal system for abnormalities. Various disease processes can cause muscle weakness or pain. These conditions may be related to problems with the nervous system, connective tissue, vascular system, or musculoskeletal system. A muscle biopsy helps determine the source of the disease process, which ensures the proper treatment. Muscle biopsy tissue samples are also used to diagnose neuromuscular disorders, infections that affect the muscle, and other abnormalities in the muscle tissue.
Following are some of the diseases diagnosed by muscle biopsy tissue:
- Muscular Dystrophy (MD): A broad term that describes a genetic (inherited) disorder of the muscles. Muscular dystrophy affects skeletal muscles and other organ systems. When the muscles break down, fatty deposits replace them over time. There are many different types of muscular dystrophy.
- Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): The most common form of muscular dystrophy. DMD usually affects only male patients.
- Becker Muscular Dystrophy: Similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), but usually more mild and symptoms start later in life.
- Trichinosis: An infection caused by a parasite that lives in raw meat. Symptoms may include muscle pain.
- Toxoplasmosis: An infection caused by a parasite that invades the tissue and can damage the central nervous system, especially in infants.
- Myasthenia Gravis (MG): A complex, autoimmune disorder in which antibodies destroy neuromuscular connections. This causes problems with the nerves that communicate with muscles. MG affects the voluntary muscles of the body, especially the eyes, mouth, throat, and limbs.
- Polymyosiyis: A chronic disease involving skeletal muscles
- Dermatomyositis: A collagen disorder that causes inflammation to the skin, muscles, and subcutaneous tissue, often resulting in weakened muscles.
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): Also known as Lou Gehrig disease, ALS is a disease that attacks the nerves signaling voluntary muscle movement, eventually causing paralysis.
- Friedreich Ataxia: An inherited, genetic disorder that involves balance and coordination.
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 from cancer (tumor) tissue, cancer sera (serum), cancer plasma, cancer PBMC and human tissue samples from most other therapeutic areas and diseases.
Bay Biosciences maintains and manages it’s own bio-repository, human tissue bank (biobank) consisting of thousands of diseased samples (specimens) and from normal healthy donors available in all formats and types. Our biobank procures and stores fully consented, deidentified and institutional review boards (IRB) approved human tissue samples and matched controls.
All our human human tissue collections, human specimens and human bio-fluids are provided with detailed samples associated patient’s clinical data. This critical patient’s clinical data includes information relating to their past and current disease, treatment history, lifestyle choices, biomarkers and genetic information. Patient’s data is extremely valuable for researchers and is used to help identify new effective treatments (drug discovery & development) in oncology, other therapeutic areas and diseases. This clinical information is critical to demonstrate their impact, monitor the safety of medicines, testing & diagnostics, and generate new knowledge about the causes of disease and illness.
Bay Biosciences banks wide variety of human tissue samples and biological samples including cryogenically preserved -80°C, fresh, fresh frozen tissue samples, tumor tissue samples, FFPE’s, tissue slides, with matching human bio-fluids, whole blood and blood derived products such as serum, plasma and PBMC’s.
Bay Biosciences is a global leader in collecting and providing human tissue samples according to the researchers specified requirements and customized, tailor made collection protocols. Please contact us anytime to discuss your special research projects and customized human tissue sample requirements.
Bay Biosciences provides human tissue samples (human specimens) from diseased and normal healthy donors; including peripheral whole-blood, amniotic fluid, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL), sputum, pleural effusion, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), serum (sera), plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC’s), saliva, Buffy coat, urine, stool samples, aqueous humor, vitreous humor, kidney stones, renal calculi, nephrolithiasis, urolithiasis and other bodily fluids from most diseases including cancer. We can also procure most human bio-specimens and can do special collections and requests of human samples that are difficult to find. All our human tissue samples are procured through IRB approved clinical protocols and procedures.
In addition to the standard processing protocols Bay Biosciences can also provide human plasma, serum, PBMC bio-fluid samples using custom processing protocols, you can buy donor specific sample collections in higher volumes and specified sample aliquoting from us. Bay Biosciences also provides human samples from normal healthy donors, volunteers, for controls and clinical research, contact us Now.
