2D, 3D & 4D Data
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
The CCDB is pleased to announce the release of a tomographic reconstruction of selectively stained Connexin43 gap junctions as well as a movie of the tomogram with interpretation of the densities within the labeled gap junction. Dr. Alice Ting and Jeff Martell at MIT have developed an exciting new imaging tag in collaboration with NCMIR scientists, Mark Ellisman, Tom Deerinck and Gina Sosinsky. This robust tag specifically developed for electron microscopy, entitled APEX (for enhanced ascorbate peroxidase). (more)
Tools
OpenCCDB
CCDB is pleased to announce the release of OpenCCDB version 1.1. We look forward to your comments. Thank you for your continued support of OpenCCDB.
The CCDB has just released a new visualization and analysis tool, the Web Image Browser (WIB) for viewing and annotating high resolution microscopy images over the web. (more)
Knowledge Engineering
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 havedeveloped 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)
