Morphotype-Resolved 3D Morphometry Reveals a Structure–Density–Location Coupling in Mitochondrial Networks

The dataset consists of 55 soft X-ray tomography (SXT) reconstructions of INS-1E pancreatic beta cells acquired under multiple stimulation conditions. Cells were imaged in glass capillaries and reconstructed into three-dimensional tomograms for quantitative analysis of mitochondrial organization and network remodeling.

Experimental conditions represented in the dataset include unstimulated controls and stimulated cells exposed to glucose, Exendin-4 (Ex-4) and glucose plus Ex-4 at multiple time points. Corresponding segmentation masks were generated for cellular and organelle structures, including the cell boundary, nucleus, and mitochondria.

The dataset contains:

- SXT tomograms (MRC format)
- Organelle segmentation masks (MRC format)
- Cell-level metadata including condition, timepoint, and voxel length
