Scaffold map - Quantification of rat gastric enteroendocrine cells

Study Purpose: The goal of this work is to map cell density data to an annotated generic rat stomach scaffold.

Data Collection: The generic rat stomach scaffold is created based on the general description and average dimensions of rat stomachs as measured by Powley et al. Cell density distribution data is collected by John Furness et al from the mucosal lining of the corpus and antrum regions of rat stomachs. The data is derived from the original dataset.

Primary Conclusion: None stated

Curator's Notes

Experimental Design: Not applicable.

Completeness: Complete.

Subjects & Samples: This study used juvenile male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=14); stomach samples were derived from the antrum and corpus regions of the stomach.

Primary vs derivative data: The primary folder contains the mapping tool provenance data file needed to produce the scaffold map. The mapping tool will be accessible from the release download page on the SPARC Portal. The derivative folder contains webGL files which are used to generate a visualization of the scaffold map on the web portal.
