There is in fact The Comparative Human Tissue Network based right in
Columbus, Ohio.  The address is:
	Cooperative Human Tissue Network
	Northwestern Division
	410 West 10th Avenue N-535 Doan Hall
	Columbus, Ohio  43210

They match tissue samples available with researchers who need tissue.
I have obtained some rare tissues from them for my research.  There 
charges are minimal (like $15.00 plus shipping).
