Jacques Gilloteaux published this dataset of transmission and scanning electron microscopy images on figshare in 2026. It contains TIF images showing the fine structure of mitochondria in differentiated human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. The dataset is 997.0 KB in size and is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
Use Cases
- Train computer vision models to identify mitochondrial anomalies based on the described membrane and matrix defects.
- Study the effects of retinoic acid differentiation on organelle structure based on the described changes in lipid storage and membrane morphology.
- Compare mitochondrial pathologies in cell models to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's based on the described analogies to OPA1 and mitofusin defects.
Strengths
- Includes images from both transmission and scanning electron microscopy, providing complementary ultrastructural views.
- Focuses on a specific, widely used cell model (differentiated SH-SY5Y) for biomedical research.
- Quantifies a specific observation, noting that one-fifth of mitochondrial profiles showed prominent anomalies.
Limitations
- The dataset is small, at 997.0 KB, indicating limited scope.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Provenance
- Source
- Jacques Gilloteaux
- Collection Method
- Cells were differentiated in vitro with retinoic acid and processed for fine structure analysis with transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray spectroscopy microanalysis.
