    Blank Frame and Intensity Variation Distortion Detection and Restoration Pipeline for Phase-Contrast Microscopy Time-Lapse Images
    (Aves, 2024) Ucar, Mahmut; Iheme, Leonardo O.; Onal, Sevgi; Pesen-Okvur, Devrim; Yalcin-Ozuysal, Ozden; Toreyin, Behcet U.; Unay, Devrim
    In this study, we propose a preprocessing pipeline for the detection and correction of distorted frames in time-lapse images obtained from phase-contrast microscopy. The proposed pipeline employs the average intensities of frames as a foundational element for the analysis. In order to evaluate the degree of correction required for intensity variance, a normalization technique is applied to the difference between the average intensity of a specific frame and the median average intensity of all frames within the study. Our restoration method increases the histogram similarity between the distorted and non-distorted frames, preserves trans-passing pixels in regions of interest, and mitigates the development of additional distortions. The efficacy of the proposed method was evaluated using 15 395 time-lapse image frames from 27 experiments using our own dataset and 830 time-lapse images from four different experiments obtained from the cell tracking challenge. The results of the validation demonstrate a high degree of numerical and visual accuracy of the proposed pipeline.

    Therapeutic Potentials of Inhibition of Jumonji C Domain-Containing Demethylases in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
    (Aves, 2020) Koca, Duygu; Hastar, Nurcan; Engür, Selin; Kiraz, Yağmur; Ulu, Gizem Tuğçe; Çekdemir, Demet; Baran, Yusuf
    Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex disease affected by both genetic and epigenetic factors. Histone methylation and demethylation are types of epigenetic modification in chromatin remodeling and gene expression. Abnormal expression of histone demethylases is indicated in many types of cancer including AML. Although many commercial drugs are available to treat AML, an absolute cure has not been discovered yet. However, inhibition of demethylases could be a potential cure for AML. Methylstat is a chemical agent that inhibits the Jumonji C domain-containing demethylases.

    Effects of Spaceflight on Cells of Bone Marrow Origin
    (Aves, 2013) Özçivici, Engin
    Once only a subject for science fiction novels, plans for establishing habitation on space stations, the Moon, and distant planets now appear among the short-term goals of space agencies. This article reviews studies that present biomedical issues that appear to challenge humankind for long-term spaceflights. With particularly focus on cells of bone marrow origin, studies involving changes in bone, immune, and red blood cell populations and their functions due to extended weightlessness were reviewed. Furthermore, effects of mechanical disuse on primitive stem cells that reside in the bone marrow were also included in this review. Novel biomedical solutions using space biotechnology will be required in order to achieve the goal of space exploration without compromising the functions of bone marrow, as spaceflight appears to disrupt homeostasis for all given cell types.
