Sustainability in the biobanking community has recently become an important and oft-discussed issue as biorepositories struggle to balance limited external funding and complex cost recovery models with high operating costs and the desire to provide the highest quality materials and services to the research community. A multi-faceted view of biobanking sustainability requires consideration of operational and social sustainability in addition to the historical focus exclusively on financial sustainability. Planning and implementing this three pillar model creates a well-rounded biorepository that meets the needs of all the major stakeholders: the funders, the patients/depositors, and the researcher recipients.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness and complications of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) for treating trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
- 80% of the 15 patients treated experienced pain relief after the procedure, with the average time to relief being around 13 days.
- While some patients reported mild facial numbness as a complication, these side effects were generally manageable and correlated with positive pain outcomes.
- Overall, GKS is deemed a successful treatment option for MS-associated TN, with minimal risks involved.
