- 2/11/2023: With help from Drs. Claire Hu and Norbert Perrimon, Oliver generated and uploaded a new fly_pericardial_nephrocyte.php web page to illustrate the manually annotated fly pericardial nephrocyte card.
- 2/10/2023: With help from Drs. Shawn Xu and Paul Sternberg, Oliver generated and uploaded a new worm_excretory_cell.php web page to illustrate the manually annotated worm excretory cell card.
- 2/8/2023: A new podocyte-LM.php web page was generated to replace previous podocyte-hubmat page.
- 9/21/2022: Oliver presented an oral presentation about Cellcards on CELLS 2022 (the 6th International Cells in Experimental Life Science Workshop), a free virtual workshop associated with ICBO 2022. Welcome to join!
- 9/12/2022: Oliver finished the first successfully implemented search function, which queried the backend MariaDB/MySQL database and returned the results. The web display pages that showed the queried database information were also laid out well. The basic kidney data from the ASCT+B kidney table was displayed.
- 8/26/2022: Fatima and Oliver finished extraction of the ASCT+B Kidney table data to our relational database.
- 8/3/2022: Ms. Fatima Oudeif, an undergraduate in the University of Michigan, presented her poster presentation in the 2022 UROP summer symposium at Michigan League, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. See: Fatima's presentation abstract.
- Summer 2022: Oliver He recruited several undergraduate students to work on the cellcards project. These students include: Fatima Oudeif, Andrew Lloyd, Yujia Tian, and Yichao Chen. Fatima and Andrew are from the University of Michigan, and Yujia and Yichao from the Rutgers University. Fatima's summer research was supported by the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) in the University of Michigan. The other three students volunteer to work on this project.
- 4/18/2022: The Tutorial page was updated by Oliver and Bill to introduce the Cell Card Schema and the schema's role in structuring the Cell Card data.
- 4/13/2022: A prototype CellCard Schema was generated by Dr. Bill Duncan. See more information on the Standards page.
- 4/9/2022: Changed the name of the "Metadata" page to the "Standards" page. A cell card schema standard supported by LinkML is being developed to support the cellcards project. More information will be provided later.
- 3/23/2022: The podocyte-hubmat page was updated by adding the information related to Dignet, a program under the Ignet (Integrated gene network) literature mining web application that will likely be adopted to support CellCards. See the Ignet tutorial, Ignet is a centrality- and ontology-based liteature discovery system for analyzing and visualizing biological gene interaction networks using all PubMed literature papers.
- 3/6/2022: Michael Cooke, a M.S. student in UM School of Information and research assistant in He laboratory, managed to get SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate for our cellcards.org. Now we can use the https://cellcards.org. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is used for secure communication on the Internet.
- 3/6/2022: Junguk and Oliver worked together and generated the first version of our new Podocyte HuBMAT page.
- 3/2-6/2022: Major updates were made by Oliver on all the existing pages. The logos of all six institutes initiating the CellCards project were added. The Podoctype cell card, the Renal corpuscle connectome, and the RAAS connectome pages were all updated. A podocyte-containing glomerulus image figure contributed by Dr. Pinaki Sarder was added to the Podoctype cell card. A Renal corpuscle figure contributed by Dr. Sanjay Jain and KPMP was added to the Renal corpuscle connectome page.
- 3/4/2022: The name of the Bowman's capsule connectome page was changed to Renal corpuscle connectome as suggesed by Sanjay.
- 3/4/2022: There occurred a productive group meeting in Zoom, attended by Alex, Bill, Chris, Junguk, Oliver, Pinaki, and Sanjay, on CellCards design. Many ideas on how to improve CellCards were raised and discussed.
- 12/12/2021: A podocyte SVG image file prepared by Dr. Melissa Clarkson was added to the Podocyte cell card page.
- 12/3/2021: Major updates of cellcards.org web pages were made. The podocyte cell card, Bowman's capsule connectome, and RAAS connectome card pages were made. Note that these card pages were still static html pages. We planned to use these as examples and templates, and auto-generate such pages in the future.
- 11/12 - 12/3/2021: Multiple group meetings were held to discuss the project design.
- 11/12/2021: The first set of cellcards.org web pages were generated by Oliver.
- 9/30/2021: CellCards.org domain name was registered by Dr. Oliver He.
