    Development of Chrono-Spectral Gold Nanoparticle Growth Based Plasmonic Biosensor Platform
    (Elsevier, 2024) Sözmen, Alper Baran; Elveren, Beste; Erdoğan, Duygu; Mezgil, Bahadır; Baştanlar, Yalın; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu
    Plasmonic sensor platforms are designed for rapid, label-free, and real-time detection and they excel as the next generation biosensors. However, current methods such as Surface Plasmon Resonance require expertise and well-equipped laboratory facilities. Simpler methods such as Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) overcome those limitations, though they lack sensitivity. Hence, sensitivity enhancement plays a crucial role in the future of plasmonic sensor platforms. Herein, a refractive index (RI) sensitivity enhancement methodology is reported utilizing growth of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) on solid support and it is backed up with artificial neural network (ANN) analysis. Sensor platform fabrication was initiated with GNP immobilization onto solid support; immobilized GNPs were then used as seeds for chrono-spectral growth, which was carried out using NH2OH at varied incubation times. The response to RI change of the platform was investigated with varied concentrations of sucrose and ethanol. The detection of bacteria E.coli BL21 was carried out for validation as a model microorganism and results showed that detection was possible at 102 CFU/ml. The data acquired by spectrophotometric measurements were analyzed by ANN and bacteria classification with percentage error rates near 0% was achieved. The proposed LSPR-based, label-free sensor application proved that the developed methodology promises utile sensitivity enhancement potential for similar sensor platforms. © 2024 The Author(s)

    Bioprinting of Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering and Drug Screening Applications
    (Elsevier, 2022) Özmen, Ece; Yıldırım, Özüm; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu
    In tissue engineering, the 3-dimensional (3D) bioprinting method that enables the production of 3D structures by combining bioinks and cells has become one of the most promising technique. Over the last few years, 3D cell culture models gained importance in the development of disease model and drug development studies. The successful production of the 3D structures by 3D bioprinting mostly depends on the properties of the bioink to be used. Hydrogels, which are natural or synthetic polymers, are generally preferred as bioink materials with their high swelling ability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and easy gelation ability. The convenience of hydrogels for varied bioprinting applications make them proper bioink materials for bioprinting of artificial tissues, tumor models, and tissue grafts. Bioprinting of functional tissues is successfully performed for years, and hydrogels are utilized as bioink in bone, vascular, neural, cartilage, cardiac, skin tissue engineering, and drug screening. In this chapter, bioprinting methodology, bioinks, hydrogel bioinks, and their applications are discussed in detail. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Sensitive and Rapid Protein Assay Via Magnetic Levitation
    (Elsevier, 2022) Sözmen, Alper Baran; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu
    Magnetic levitation (MagLev) is a newly emerging methodology for biosensing that provides a density-based analysis, which is highly sensitive and versatile. In this study, a magnetic levitation based sensor platform was used for protein detection; and sensor platform optimization was performed for both sensitivity and resolution. Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) was used as a model protein and detection of BSA was carried out by antibody functionalized polystyrene microspheres (PSMs). Various sizes of PSMs were examined and their performances were compared by statistical analyses in terms of limit of detection (LOD), sensitivity, and resolution. Quantification of the protein was done based on the magnetic levitation height differences of antibody functionalized PSMs. For optimization of the methodology, varied PSMs were utilized, and standardization of PSM diameter, concentration of the antibody to be functionalized, and PSM dilution rates were carried out. In conclusion, 20 μm PSMs diluted to 0.005% W/V and functionalized with anti-BSA antibody at a concentration of 28 μg/ml were determined to provide the best resolution for BSA detection. A dynamic range of 100 nM to 1 mM was observed with an LOD value of 4.1 ng/ml. This sensing platform promises a novel approach with a diverse application field and it provides rapid, consistent, and reproducible results with high resolution and sensitivity.

    Utilization of Near Ir Absorbing Gold Nanocolloids by Green Synthesis
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2018) Elveren, Beste; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu
    The rapid developments in nanoscience, and its applications on biomedical areas have a large impact on drug delivery, tissue engineering, sensing, and diagnosis. Gold is widely investigated nanomaterial for the last couple of decades, since it has unique surface properties and very low toxicity to biological environment. In this work, we present a novel synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) exhibiting both visible and near-IR absorbance without agglomeration. The surface of GNPs were analyzed by routine methods and the binding kinetics were investigated by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Spectroscopy. The unique optical properties of near-IR asorbing GNP colloids hold promise for biological applications.

    Kanser Öntanısı için Hücredışı Veziküller Kullanılarak Plazmonik Temelli Metodoloji Geliştirme
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Erdoğan, Duygu; Alduran, Yeşim; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu
    Son yıllarda, vücut sıvılarında bulunan hücredışı veziküller kanserde tanı biyobelirteci olarak kullanılmaktadır. Veziküllerin içeriği kanserin türünü ve seviyesini belirlemede rol oynayabilmektedir. Bu vezikülleri yakalama işleminde, genel olarak, Akış Sitometrisi (Flow cytometry), Western Blot, Enzime-bağlı İmmunosorbent Deneyi (ELISA) ve Yüzey Plazmon Rezonansı (SPR) metodolojileri kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada vezikülleri yakalamaya yönelik plazmon temelli bir deney platformu üretilmesi önerilmiştir. Bu plazmonik platform, yüzeyde yapılacak modifikasyonlarla, yüksek hassasiyet oluşturabileceğimiz Lokalize Yüzey Plazmon Resonansı temellidir.

    Üç Boyutlu Hücre Kültürü için Polimer Esaslı Ekstrasellüler Matriks Mimetiği
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Türker, Esra; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu
    Elektro-eğirme metodu gelişmiş üretim teknolojilerindendir ve biyomedikal uygulamalarında yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Özellikle doku mühendisliğinde amaç, çalışılacak doku üzerine doğal veya sentetik destek materyali (iskele) üreterek hücrenin uyum sağlayabileceği bir ortam oluşturmaktır. Bu projenin amacı üç boyutlu (3D) hücre kültürü çalışmaları için elektro-eğirme-metodu ile poli(L-laktik-co-epsilon-kaprolakton) (PLLCL) kullanılarak iskele üretilmesidir. Homojen lifler ve uygun gözenek boyutu elde etmek amacıyla optimizasyon çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Elde edilen liflerin çapı, akış hızı ve voltajın artmasıyla azalmaktadır. Taramalı uç elektron mikroskop incelemeleri (SEM) lif morfolojik yapılarının doku iskelesi fabrikasyonu için ideale yakın olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır.
