The Cell Centered Database (CCDB)is a web accessible database for high resolution 2D, 3D and 4D data from light and electron microscopy, including correlated imaging. Techniques range from wide field mosaics taken with multiphoton microscopy to 3D reconstructions of cellular ultrastructure using electron tomography...(more)

Data Spotlight

Detailed geometry of membrane systems mediating cardiomyocyte excitability
CCDB has just released two 3D electron tomography data sets from a newly published study of the geometry of membrane systems mediating excitability in cardiac myocytes. (more)

The CCDB is developing "MyCCDB" for comprehensive management of 2D, 3D, and 4D light and electron microscopy data through a secure web portal. With an account to MyCCDB, users can manage their own data through the web using the CCDB's powerful search and display capabilities...(more)

New Release

MyCCDB will provide a personalized secure web-based portal for accessing, uploading and managing data through the CCDB. We are in the process of building the customized interface. In the meanwhile, you are free to preview MyCCDB through NCMIR's Telescience portal.

The CCDB is participating in several large scale information projects to develop and utilize ontologies and spatial reference systems for data mining and data federation. The CCDB is utilizing ontologies to link data across scales and modalities. Additional details may be found by visiting the NIF and Senselab... (more)

Sao

We have
developed the Subcellular Anatomy Ontology (SAO) for the nervous system to provide a formal ontology to describe structures from the dimensional range known as the "mesoscale," encompassing cellular and subcellular structure, supracellular domains, and macromolecules. (more)
