TL;DR: The immunology database and analysis portal (ImmPort) system is the archival repository and dissemination vehicle for clinical and molecular datasets created by research consortia funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Division of All allergy, Immunology, and Transplantation.

TL;DR: The ImmPort data repository was created for the broader research community to explore the wide spectrum of clinical and basic research data and associated findings and allows research data to be repurposed to accelerate the translation of new insights into discoveries.

TL;DR: The Center for Expanded Data Annotation and Retrieval is studying the creation of comprehensive and expressive metadata for biomedical datasets to facilitate data discovery, data interpretation, and data reuse.

TL;DR: The PDX models minimal information standard (PDX-MI) is presented, which defines the minimal information for describing the clinical attributes of a patient's tumor, the processes of implantation and passaging of tumors in a host mouse strain, quality assurance methods, and the use ofPDX models in cancer research.

TL;DR: In this paper, a text-mining engine that structures and standardizes knowledge of immune intercellular communication is presented, which is able to distinguish between incoming and outgoing interactions, and it includes the effect of the interaction and the cellular function involved.
