The Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN) was established to address the scarcity of human tissues for research. This valuable resource has supplied over 29,000 tissue samples to researchers nationwide.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research
  • Cancer research
  • Immunology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • National Cancer Institute identified a critical shortage of human tissues for research.
  • Research areas impacted include molecular biology, genetics, and immunology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and current status of the Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN).
  • To highlight the CHTN as a vital resource for the scientific community.

Main Methods:

  • Established in 1987 by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
  • Funded three initial institutions with expertise in tissue procurement and distribution.
  • Expanded to five member institutions, including specialized pediatric tissue procurement.

Main Results:

  • The CHTN expanded to five member institutions, creating regional networks for tissue supply.
  • Distributed over 29,000 human tissue samples between 1987 and 1991.
  • Supported approximately 500 researchers across the country.

Conclusions:

  • The Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN) has successfully addressed the need for research tissues.
  • The CHTN serves as a crucial and valuable resource for biomedical researchers.
