    A Fiber-Oriented Muscle Model for Predicting the Soft Tissue Deformation During Muscle Contraction
    (Mary Ann Liebert, 2022) Tang, Lei; Mihçin, Şenay; Wang, Ling; Li, Dichen; Mihçin, Şenay; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Effective designing of rehabilitation apparatus with high comfort and functionality depends upon the accurate characterization of the shape of the residual limb as well as its volume and shape fluctuations. The active behavior of skeletal muscles, which plays an important role in the interfacial biomechanics of human-machine interaction, is not considered in the current design processes of the rehabilitation apparatus. In this study, a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model of the human thigh was proposed to simulate the soft tissue deformation caused by muscle contraction.

    Peptıde Targeted Core Cross-lınked Mıcelles For Dox Delıvery To Her2 Expressıng Cancer Cells
    (Mary Ann Liebert, 2022) Bayram, Nazende Nur; Ulu, Gizem Tuğçe; Baran, Yusuf; Ulu, Gizem Tuğçe; Baran, Yusuf; Dinçer İşoğlu, Sevil; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 04.03. Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04. Faculty of Science
    In this study, we prepared a novel targeted and extra stable micellar nanocarrier that can facilitate intracellular drug release. First, ((N-3-sulfopropyl-N, N-dimethylammonium)ethyl methacrylate was synthesized by RAFT polymerization, and it was followed by copolymerization of macroCTA with AEM in the presence of an aciddegradable cross-linker. Then, a peptide estimated by phage display for HER-2 recognition was incorporated into these core cross-linked micelles with carbodiimide reaction.

    On-Chip 3d Cell Culture Platform for Tumor Modeling and Drug Screening
    (Mary Ann Liebert, 2022) Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; 03.01. Department of Bioengineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture allows cell-cell and cellmatrix interactions and provides more in vivo like models rather than 2D cell culture which cannot fully mimic native tissue. 3D cell culture on microfluidics allows formation of 3D structures that mimic the physiological and chemical microenvironment for cells[1]. These microfluidic platforms also downsize bench-top laboratory to a microchip, require miniaturized reagent, and are convenient for dynamic drug screening[2]. In this study, a microfluidic platform was designed which is housing a PLLCL scaffold fabricated by electrospinning methodology.

    Biofabrication by Magnetic Levitational Assembly of Cells Into Defined 3d Cellular Structures
    (Mary Ann Liebert, 2022) Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; 03.01. Department of Bioengineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In the field of tissue engineering 3D (three dimensional) cell culture studies have increased over the years since they are the closest models of real tissues. Compared to the 2D models, there is a big improvement on cell growth, morphology, differentiation, gene and protein expression when 3D system is utilized. Because of these advantages 3D cell culture is commonly used for tissue engineering, artificial organ technologies, regenerative medicine, drug development, drug screening and stem cell studies. Despite promising advances in these areas, there are still unmet needs to completely fulfill all requirements. Sophisticated tools, methodologies and materials are still required for further development in tissue engineering; especially for cellular assembly, single cell level control, easy control over biofabrication system, direct forward cellular imaging and analysis. Recently, magnetic levitation technology that overcomes most of the above mentioned problems, has been utilized for the formation of 3D cellular structures. Magnetic levitational assembly of cells provide rapid, simple, cost-effective 3D cell culture formation while ensuring scaffold-free microenvironment.

    Development of New Generation Hydrocolloid Bio-Ink for 3d Bioprinting
    (Mary Ann Liebert, 2022) Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; 03.01. Department of Bioengineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Bioprinting enables the production of 3-dimensional (3D) structures by combining bioinks, living cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) components, biochemical factors, proteins, drugs; and it has recently become one of the most promising techniques in the field of tissue engineering. The successful production of the 3D structure to be created by 3D bioprinting technology depends on the properties of the bio-ink to be used. Hydrogel/hydrocolloid materials used as bio-inks are developed using synthetic and natural polymers where they have the necessary rheological properties for printing, they also have biocompatibility, low toxicity and support for cell attachment. Natural hydrogels, which have the ability to mimic the extracellular matrix structure and function at a high rate, are highly preferred bioink materials for bioprinting applications.

    Development of 3d Cardiac Models Via Magnetic Manipulation for Drug Screening Studies
    (Mary Ann Liebert, 2022) Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; 03.01. Department of Bioengineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Drug discovery and development process comprise of preclinical and clinical phases that are very intensive, long, and expensive research phases. However, drug candidates can fail in clinical trials. Toxicity is the major reason that leads to about 30% of drug development failures. Recently, the withdrawal rate of drugs from the market was increased to 33.3%from5.1%due to cardiotoxicity. When the drug fails at phase I, the reasons are probably related to 2-dimensional (2D) cell culture studies that do not represent the real tissue physiology; therefore, they provide misdirected data about the efficacy and toxicity of drug.

    Il-17, Il-21, and Il-22 Cytokines of T Helper 17 Cells in Cancer
    (Mary Ann Liebert, 2019) Nalbant, Ayten; Nalbant Aldanmaz, Ayten; 04.03. Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    CD4(+) T helper (Th) cells are important regulators of cellular immune response. Newly discovered interleukin (IL)-17-producing CD4(+) T cells are known as T helper 17 cells (Th17). They are distinct subset from the T helper type 1 (Th1) and 2 (Th2) lineages. The differentiation of Th17 cells has been intensively studied; however, the role of Th17 cells in different diseases including cancer is still under investigation. Besides IL-17 family cytokines, Th17 cells produce IL-22, IL-21, and IL-26. The dysregulated function of Th17 cells and their cytokines could contribute to pathology of diseases, including cancer. The role of cytokines of Th17 cells such as IL-17, IL-21, and IL-22 in cancer will be discussed in this review.
