Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Soft Nanodots as Fluorescent Probes for Cell Imaging: Analysis of Cell and Spheroid Penetration Behavior of Single Chain Polymer Dots(Wiley, 2024) Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 03.01. Department of Bioengineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis study describes the formation, size control, and penetration behavior of polymer nanodots (Pdots) consisting of single or few chain polythiophene-based conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) via nanophase separation between good solvent and poor solvent of CPE. Though the chain singularity may be associated with dilution nanophase separation suggests that molecules of a good solvent create a thermodynamically driven solvation layer surrounding the CPEs and thereby separating the single chains even in their poor solvents. This statement is therefore corroborated with emission intensity/lifetime, particle size, and scattering intensity of polyelectrolyte in good and poor solvents. Regarding the augmented features, Pdots are implemented into cell imaging studies to understand the nuclear penetration and to differentiate the invasive characteristics of breast cancer cells. The python based red, green, blue (RGB) color analysis depicts that Pdots have more nuclear penetration ability in triple negative breast cancer cells due to the different nuclear morphology in shape and composition and Pdots have penetrated cell membrane as well as extracellular matrix in spheroid models. The current Pdot protocol and its utilization in cancer cell imaging are holding great promise for gene/drug delivery to target cancer cells by explicitly achieving the very first priority of nuclear intake. The penetration capability of cationic soft nanodots in to tumor models of breast cancer is demonstrated. The image analysis based on fluorescence intensity variation reveals the characteristics of translocation of nanodots in dense mediums such as tumor models.imageOther Macromol. Mater.

Izmir Institute of TechnologyAn easy-to-use test platform toward the rapid diagnosis of many life-threating diseases was developed. DNA was isolated from the mixture of BSA+DNA using fibrous commodity polystyrene, which was extremely cheap and can be readily electrospun under ambient conditions. Surface modification with Au nanoparticles improved the performance of the fibrous membrane.
