Equipment is available to process fixed tissue, embed in paraffin, section them and make routine hematoxylin and eosin staining as well as to perform immunohistochemistry and some special staining. Staff members are available for technical consultation regarding optimal harvesting and fixation of tissues, stains, histopathological procedures as well as for professional pathologic consultation and even imaging. Specimen Preparation For the best preservation of tissue morphology, the thickness of the tissue placed in fixative should be between 0.2 and 0.7 cm. Sections that are thicker require time for the fixative to permeate to the center, resulting in potential degradation. The volume of fixative should be at least 10 times that of the specimen. Fixation should be carried out as soon as possible after removal of the tissues, and for sufficient time to allow the permeation of the fixative into the tissue. Staff can provide the 10% buffered formalin by request. Tissues can remain in formalin for prolonged periods of time without compromising histology. However, after 24 hours, the longer the tissue is in formalin, the more antigenicity is lost.

600 S. Paulina St. Chicago, Illinois 60612The Live Animal Imaging Core uses the IVIS Lumina II imaging system, which allows monitoring of cellular activity (quantitative) through bioluminescent or fluorescent reporters in live mice or rats. This system can identify tumor development in studies aimed at dissecting the molecular genetics of several types of cancer using mouse or rat models. The imaging system allows the use of a smaller cohort of animals for the research as animals do not need to be sacrificed to ascertain the presence of tumor lesions. The system offers noninvasive longitudinal monitoring of the following: Disease progression (e.g., tumor progression and metastasis) Tumor response and recurrence Cell trafficking and gene expression patterns in living animals Drug metabolism genes due to either the parent molecule or its metabolites A potentially greater use of this imaging system is in translational research involving therapeutic trials using animal models for disease. It is hypothesized that compounds with demonstrated efficacy on tumors developed in situ in animal models will have a higher success rate after translation to the clinic, as these scenarios will more faithfully recapitulate the conditions under which human tumors grow. The ability to image tumors in situ rapidly and with high sensitivity using the IVIS imaging system, and the correlation between tumor size and the amount of emitted light, indicate that the IVIS imaging system provides a mechanism to rapidly evaluate potential therapeutic compounds. The imaging system can be likewise applied to any other disease state in which disease burden can be quantified (e.g. the number of bacteria in the systemic circulation). Other important applications include the following: Infectious disease Inflammation Gene therapy Stem cell biology Cardiovascular disease Immunology Transplantation biology

1301 West 22nd Street, Suite 906 Oak Brook, IL 605234Farm Foundation, NFP and the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation initiated the Soil Renaissance to advance soil health and make soil health the cornerstone of land use management decisions. The Soil Renaissance focuses on the role of soil health in vibrant, profitable and sustainable natural resource systems, as well as the critical importance of soil and soil health in meeting the challenge of feeding 9 billion people by 2050. While Farm Foundation, NFP and the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation are leading the Soil Renaissance, collaboration will be the linchpin to its success. No single person or organization can fully address the diverse and complex issues of soil health across the nation and the world. Advancing soil health requires a sustained effort by all stakeholders. This endeavor began in the fall of 2013 when 25 soil health thought leaders, working in industry, academia, research, government agencies and production agriculture, came together at the Noble campus in Ardmore, Okla., to talk about soil health. The Ardmore Group identified the four pillars around which the Soil Renaissance is built: economics, measurement, research and education. Those thought leaders then enlisted other stakeholders to be part of the Strategic Planning Team. Their efforts produced the vision and mission statement, and the guiding principles for Soil Renaissance work, as well as goals in each of the work areas, identifying objectives and strategies to achieve each goal.

In conjunction with the Molecular Genetics Laboratory, microarray testing is also offered to further evaluation the genetic constitution of children with clinical disorders. The Cytogenetics Laboratory also processes specimens for the study of hematologic and soft tissue malignancies. In addition to the morphologic evaluation of chromosomes, the lab also performs the molecular cytogenetic technique of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). FISH analysis allows for the identification of specific chromosome abnormalities that are beyond the resolution of a standard morphologic evaluation. The laboratory also serves as a cell culture facility for specimens that need specialized (non-cytogenetic) testing.

225 E. Chicago Ave. Chicago, IL 60611The Fish Facility is intended for the rearing and maintenance of zebrafish to accommodate the needs of investigators studying problems of development and cancer biology, neurobiology and regeneration. The Fish Facility supports research projects from six research institute laboratories. In addition, investigators from Northwestern University (Chicago and Evanston campuses), DePaul University and University of Illinois at Chicago have used facility resources. The Fish Facility is outfitted with the Aquanee ring system for the rearing and maintenance of zebrafish. Four separate systems accommodate over 2,200 tanks for fry and adult fish, and provide optimal conditions for maintenance of up to 25,000 adult fish. All tanks are constantly supplied with water through inlet valves at a rate at which the water in the tanks is exchanged about three times per hour. The filtration system assures optimal water quality: tap water is purified by the Reverse Osmosis System, UV sterilization tower, particle prefilter, fine particle filter, and biofilter. Ten percent of fresh water is added to the system daily. Water quality (pH and conductivity) is monitored automatically. Water flow is also automatically controlled, and water level sensors with an alarm system are installed. The filter system requires minimal maintenance and sustains high water quality.
