Faculty of ScienceIn clinical practice, a variety of diagnostic applications require the identification of target cells. Density has been used as a physical marker to distinguish cell populations since metabolic activities could alter the cell densities. Magnetic levitation offers great promise for separating cells at the single cell level within heterogeneous populations with respect to cell densities. Traditional magnetic levitation platforms need bulky and precise optical microscopes to visualize levitated cells. Moreover, the evaluation process of cell densities is cumbersome, which also requires trained personnel for operation. In this work, we introduce a device (HologLev) as a fusion of the magnetic levitation principle and lensless digital inline holographic microscopy (LDIHM). LDIHM provides ease of use by getting rid of bulky and expensive optics. By placing an imaging sensor just beneath the microcapillary channel without any lenses, recorded holograms are processed for determining cell densities through a fully automated digital image processing scheme. The device costs less than $100 and has a compact design that can fit into a pocket. We perform viability tests on the device by levitating three different cell lines (MDA-MB-231, U937, D1 ORL UVA) and comparing them against their dead correspondents. We also tested the differentiation of mouse osteoblastic (7F2) cells by monitoring characteristic variations in their density. Last, the response of MDA-MB-231 cancer cells to a chemotherapy drug was demonstrated in our platform. HologLev provides cost-effective, label-free, fully automated cell analysis in a compact design that could be highly desirable for laboratory and point-of-care testing applications.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 24Scaffold-Free Biofabrication of Adipocyte Structures With Magnetic Levitation(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2021) Yalçın Özuysal, Özden; Meşe Özçivici, Gülistan; Fıratlıgil Yıldırır, Burcu; Ünal, Yağmur Ceren; Özçivici, Engin; Sarıgil, Öykü; Anıl İnevi, Müge; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur; Yalçın Özuysal, Özden; Özçivici, Engin; Meşe, Gülistan; Sarıgil, Öykü; Özçivici, Engin; Anıl İnevi, Müge; Meşe Özçivici, Gülistan; 03.01.

Faculty of ScienceTissue engineering research aims to repair the form and/or function of impaired tissues. Tissue engineering studies mostly rely on scaffold-based techniques. However, these techniques have certain challenges, such as the selection of proper scaffold material, including mechanical properties, sterilization, and fabrication processes. As an alternative, we propose a novel scaffold-free adipose tissue biofabrication technique based on magnetic levitation. In this study, a label-free magnetic levitation technique was used to form three-dimensional (3D) scaffold-free adipocyte structures with various fabrication strategies in a microcapillary-based setup. Adipogenic-differentiated 7F2 cells and growth D1 ORL UVA stem cells were used as model cells. The morphological properties of the 3D structures of single and cocultured cells were analyzed. The developed procedure leads to the formation of different patterns of single and cocultured adipocytes without a scaffold. Our results indicated that adipocytes formed loose structures while growth cells were tightly packed during 3D culture in the magnetic levitation platform. This system has potential for ex vivo modeling of adipose tissue for drug testing and transplantation applications for cell therapy in soft tissue damage. Also, it will be possible to extend this technique to other cell and tissue types.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Biofabrication of Cellular Structures Using Weightlessness as a Biotechnological Tool(IEEE, 2019) Yaman, Sena; Sarıgil, Öykü; Anıl İnevi, Müge; Yalçın Özuysal, Özden; Meşe Özçivici, Gülistan; Özçivici, Engin; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur; 03.01.

Faculty of ScienceGravity is an important biomechanical signal effecting the morphology and function of organisms. Reduction of gravitational forces, as experienced during spaceflight, cause alterations in the biological systems. Magnetic levitation technique is one of the most recent ground-based technology to mimic weightlessness environment. In addition to providing a platform to investigate biological effects of the weightlessness, this platform presents a novel opportunity to biofabricate 3-dimensional (3D) structures in a scaffold-and nozzle-free fashion. In this study, various controllable self-assembled 3D living structures were fabricated via magnetic levitation technique. This strategy may offer an easy and cost-effective opportunity for a wide range of space biotechnology researches.Article Citation - WoS: 79Citation - Scopus: 94Biofabrication of in Situ Self Assembled 3d Cell Cultures in a Weightlessness Environment Generated Using Magnetic Levitation(Nature Publishing Group, 2018) Yalçın Özuysal, Özden; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur; Özçivici, Engin; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; Meşe Özçivici, Gülistan; Yaman, Sena; Anıl İnevi, Müge; 03.01.

Izmir Institute of TechnologyMagnetic levitation though negative magnetophoresis is a novel technology to simulate weightlessness and has recently found applications in material and biological sciences. Yet little is known about the ability of the magnetic levitation system to facilitate biofabrication of in situ three dimensional (3D) cellular structures. Here, we optimized a magnetic levitation though negative magnetophoresis protocol appropriate for long term levitated cell culture and developed an in situ 3D cellular assembly model with controlled cluster size and cellular pattern under simulated weightlessness. The developed strategy outlines a potential basis for the study of weightlessness on 3D living structures and with the opportunity for real-time imaging that is not possible with current ground-based simulated weightlessness techniques. The low-cost technique presented here may offer a wide range of biomedical applications in several research fields, including mechanobiology, drug discovery and developmental biology.
