PDAC cells CD44 siRNA perfusion tracking dataset

This dataset contains tracking results of CD44 siRNA-silenced AsPC1, and MiaPaca cells perfused on endothelial monolayers under physiological flow speeds.

Videos were recorded using a Nikon Eclipse Ti2-E microscope and 20x objective.

Perfused cells from the generated videos were segmented using custom-trained Stardist models. Tracking was performed using TrackMate. Tracking results were analyzed using a custom CellTracksColab notebook. 

The dataset here contains the CSV files generated by TrackMate (Track and Spots information), the tracking data stored in the CellTracksColab format (Analysis.zip), and the analysis output used in the paper (Analysis.zip).
