    Recent Advances in Magnetic Levitation: a Biological Approach From Diagnostics To Tissue Engineering
    (American Chemical Society, 2018) Türker, Esra; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu
    The magnetic levitation technique has been utilized to orientate and manipulate objects both in two dimensions (2D) and three dimensions (3D) to form complex structures by combining various types of materials. Magnetic manipulation holds great promise for several applications such as self-assembly of soft substances and biological building blocks, manipulated tissue engineering, as well as cell or biological molecule sorting for diagnostic purposes. Recent studies are proving the potential of magnetic levitation as an emerging tool in biotechnology. This review outlines the advances of newly developing magnetic levitation technology on biological applications in aqueous environment from the biotechnology perspective.

    Lab-on-a-chip devices for drug screening
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Gökçe, Begüm; Pesen Okvur, Devrim; Çağır, Ali
    Breast cancer is one of the cancers with the highest incidence and mortality rates in women in Turkey as well as in the world. Tumor micro environment comprises of cancer and normal cells, extracellular matrix, soluble biological and chemical factors. Research has shown that cell shape, adhesion, migration, response to growth factors and drugs are different in 2D and 3D culture. Today, only 8 out of 100 anti-cancer clinical trial gives effective results. 3D cell culture systems have shown to be a necessary step between in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies. Therefore, it is necessary to better understand the interactions of cancer cells with their micro environment, for which new cell culture setups are required. The most apparent disadvantage of widely used 3D cell culture setups is the lack of stromal cells. The systems to be developed should both provide a 3D environment and comprise multiple cell types. The drug screen in 3D tri-culture method with a lab-on-a-chip device, that will be developed in this study will be able to answer these needs. Cell lines that represent different breast cancer types alone or together with stromal cells were cultured in 3D in the to be developed lab-on-a-chip; by determining the effects of drugs with different targets on the viability and distribution of cells, a drug screening method is developed.

    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.
