Definition

The Cell Centered Database (CCDB; http://ccdb.ucsd.edu) project was launched in 2002 to provide online repository of high-resolution 3D light and electron microscopic reconstructions of cells and subcellular structures (Martone et al. 2002, 2003, 2008). The CCDB was designed to complement the structural databases of gene, protein, and tissue structure by hosting data in the dimensional range known as the “mesoscale,” roughly encompassing the structures that sit between gross morphology and molecular structure, e.g., cellular networks, cellular and subcellular microdomains along with their macromolecular constituents. The study of mesoscale structures continues to present a challenge to experimentalists, because to build a comprehensive understanding of complex tissues in this dimensional range requires the ability to aggregate data obtained by multiple researchers across techniques and spatial scales.
