Funded Research - Tissue Mapping Centers (TMCs) [RFA-RM-17-027]
TMCs will collect and analyze a range of normal tissues from donors that consist of males and females, and a variety of ages as well as ethnicities. Tissue samples collected will consist of discrete, complex organs, distributed organ systems and systems comprising dynamic or motile cell types with distinct microenvironments. Initial tissues to be collected and analyzed by the TMCs include Bladder, Kidney/ureter, Colon, Lung, Lymph nodes, Spleen, Thymus and Vasculature.
