Review Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 24Microfluidic-Based Technologies for Diagnosis, Prevention, and Treatment of Covid-19: Recent Advances and Future Directions(Springer, 2023) Tarım, Ergün Alperay; Anıl İnevi, Müge; Özkan, İlayda; Keçili, Seren; Bilgi, Eyüp; Başlar, Muhammet Semih; Özçivici, Engin; Öksel Karakuş, Ceyda; Tekin, Hüseyin CumhurThe COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges to existing healthcare systems around the world. The urgent need for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for COVID-19 has boomed the demand for new technologies that can improve current healthcare approaches, moving towards more advanced, digitalized, personalized, and patient-oriented systems. Microfluidic-based technologies involve the miniaturization of large-scale devices and laboratory-based procedures, enabling complex chemical and biological operations that are conventionally performed at the macro-scale to be carried out on the microscale or less. The advantages microfluidic systems offer such as rapid, low-cost, accurate, and on-site solutions make these tools extremely useful and effective in the fight against COVID-19. In particular, microfluidic-assisted systems are of great interest in different COVID-19-related domains, varying from direct and indirect detection of COVID-19 infections to drug and vaccine discovery and their targeted delivery. Here, we review recent advances in the use of microfluidic platforms to diagnose, treat or prevent COVID-19. We start by summarizing recent microfluidic-based diagnostic solutions applicable to COVID-19. We then highlight the key roles microfluidics play in developing COVID-19 vaccines and testing how vaccine candidates perform, with a focus on RNA-delivery technologies and nano-carriers. Next, microfluidic-based efforts devoted to assessing the efficacy of potential COVID-19 drugs, either repurposed or new, and their targeted delivery to infected sites are summarized. We conclude by providing future perspectives and research directions that are critical to effectively prevent or respond to future pandemics.Article Citation - WoS: 56Citation - Scopus: 55A Bodipy-Based Fluorescent Probe To Visually Detect Phosgene: Toward the Development of a Handheld Phosgene Detector(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2018) Sayar, Melike; Karakuş, Erman; Güner, Tuğrul; Yıldız, Büşra; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Emrullahoğlu, MustafaA boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based fluorescent probe with a phosgene-specific reactive motif shows remarkable selectivity toward phosgene, in the presence of which the nonfluorescent dye rapidly transforms into a new structure and induces a fluorescent response clearly observable to the naked eye under ultraviolet light. Given that dynamic, a prototypical handheld phosgene detector with a promising sensing capability that expedites the detection of gaseous phosgene without sophisticated instrumentation was developed. The proposed method using the handheld detector involves a rapid response period suitable for issuing early warnings during emergency situations.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 24A Ratiometric Fluorescent Probe for Gold and Mercury Ions(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015) Üçüncü, Muhammed; Karakuş, Erman; Emrullahoğlu, MustafaA fluorescent probe that displays a ratiometric fluorescence response towards gold and mercury ions has been devised. Emitting at a relatively longer wavelength, the conjugated form of the fluorescent dye transforms in the presence of the gold or mercury ions into a new dye, the molecular structure of which lacks the conjugation and consequently emits at a distinctly shorter wavelength. A fluorescent probe that displays a ratiometric fluorescence response towards gold and mercury ions has been devised. Emitting at a relatively longer wavelength, the conjugated form of the fluorescent dye transforms in the presence of the gold or mercury ions into a new dye (see figure).Article Citation - WoS: 43Citation - Scopus: 43A Bodipy-Based Fluorescent Probe for the Differential Recognition of Hg(ii) and Au(iii) Ions(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Cantürk, Ceren; Üçüncü, Muhammed; Emrullahoğlu, MustafaWe describe the design, synthesis and spectral behaviour of a fluorescent molecular sensor able to recognize Hg2+ and Au3+ ions via different emission modes. The molecular sensor is constructed on a single BODIPY dye appended with a semithio-carbazone functionality as a recognition motif.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Investigation of the Spontaneous Emission Rate of Perylene Dye Molecules Encapsulated Into Three-Dimensional Nanofibers Via Flim Method(Springer Verlag, 2014) Açıkgöz, Sabriye; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Yapaşan, Ece; Kiraz, Alper; Ünal, Ahmet A.; İnci, Mehmet NaciThe decay dynamics of perylene dye molecules encapsulated in polymer nanofibers produced by electrospinning of polymethyl methacrylate are investigated using a confocal fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy technique. Time-resolved experiments show that the fluorescence lifetime of perylene dye molecules is enhanced when the dye molecules are encapsulated in a three-dimensional photonic environment. It is hard to produce a sustainable host with exactly the same dimensions all the time during fabrication to accommodate dye molecules for enhancement of spontaneous emission rate. The electrospinning method allows us to have a control over fiber diameter. It is observed that the wavelength of monomer excitation of perylene dye molecules is too short to cause enhancement within nanofiber photonic environment of 330 nm diameters. However, when these nanofibers are doped with more concentrated perylene, in addition to monomer excitation, an excimer excitation is generated. This causes observation of the Purcell effect in the three-dimensional nanocylindrical photonic fiber geometry.
