		Hi - I'm a new subscriber and am already impressed and
overwhelmed by the
		great questions being asked and the responses.

		I am a diabetes researcher in Irvine, CA, and perform
histology and
		immunohistochemistry on a variety of species (man, rodent,
primate, pig).
		All of the human "tissue" that I work with is from cell
culture conditions.
		I am in serious need of "normal" human pancreas (formalin
fixed, paraffin
		embedded, of known age & gender). If anybody has a block
laying around and
		could share, I would be most appreciative!. I have a pretty
unlimited supply
		of pig parts, pancreas included, that I would be willing to
trade for or if
		somebody just needs pig parts let me know.

		Thank you all for your assistance.
