Conditions

Summary

The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is performing this research to accelerate diverse disease research using cells from the body (such as skin or blood cells) to make stem cells and other types of cells, conduct research on the samples, perform genetic testing, and store the samples for future use.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This is a research biobank — a collection of biological samples (blood, skin, saliva) and medical records — from people with neurological and other diseases, as well as healthy volunteers. Researchers use these samples to study the causes of diseases like ALS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis. **You may be eligible if...** - You are at least 30 days old - You have a diagnosis of a neurological or other disease of interest, OR you are a healthy volunteer - If you are a child, your parent or guardian is available to provide consent - Adults must be able to give written consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are a ward of the state - You have a history of abnormal scarring (keloids), a bleeding disorder, or anesthetic allergy (for skin sample collection) - You have a bleeding disorder (for blood sample collection) - You refuse to follow the safety protocols of the collection site Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
