Schwann Cell Population in the Human Ovary: Transcriptomic and Histological Data

Filippa Bertilsson's research dataset provides evidence for the presence of Schwann cells in the human ovary. It was created using an integrative approach combining transcriptomic analysis from public single-cell RNA sequencing datasets and image-based validation from the Human Protein Atlas. The dataset was last updated on April 22, 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate Schwann cell marker expression based on the refined set of 20 high-confidence genes.
• Analyze spatial relationships between Schwann cells and pre-antral follicles based on immunohistochemistry images.
• Train models to identify Schwann cell populations in ovarian tissue based on integrated transcriptomic and protein expression patterns.

Strengths

• Integrates multiple data modalities: transcriptomic analysis and image-based validation.
• Uses a refined set of 20 Schwann cell-associated markers validated for specificity.
• Protein-level expression was confirmed for all selected markers in human ovarian tissue.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the source platforms (Human Protein Atlas, specific scRNA-seq datasets).
