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.

In an open access article published this month in Pharmaceutics, researchers working with the Camden Opioid Research Initiative (CORI) have demonstrated that the majority of study patients are open to pharmacogenetic testing as part of their medication management. Pharmacogenetics is the study of genetic variation that impacts each individual’s response to medications.
