Raw Images of Cell ROS Fluorescence Staining from Atherosclerosis Study

6.4 MB of raw cell images from a study investigating the anti-atherosclerotic effects of a polyphenol extract. The dataset contains fluorescence staining images for reactive oxygen species (ROS) from in vitro experiments using a THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cell model. The data was authored by He-Ping Liu and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Training computer vision models for cell segmentation based on ROS fluorescence staining patterns described in the study.
• Quantifying ROS levels in macrophage-derived foam cells based on fluorescence intensity data mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing the effects of polyphenol extract on cellular oxidative stress as described in the underlying research.

Strengths

• Dataset is 6.4 MB, indicating a specific and focused collection of images.
• Data is associated with a detailed research study describing the experimental methods and biological context.
• Shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and modification.

Limitations

• Row count and exact number of images are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; image metadata and labeling must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and annotation require manual inspection.
