Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 26Magnetic Levitation Assisted Biofabrication, Culture, and Manipulation of 3d Cellular Structures Using a Ring Magnet Based Setup(Wiley, 2021) Anıl İnevi, Müge; Delikoyun, Kerem; Meşe Özçivici, Gülistan; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur; Özçivici, EnginDiamagnetic levitation is an emerging technology for remote manipulation of cells in cell and tissue level applications. Low-cost magnetic levitation configurations using permanent magnets are commonly composed of a culture chamber physically sandwiched between two block magnets that limit working volume and applicability. This work describes a single ring magnet-based magnetic levitation system to eliminate physical limitations for biofabrication. Developed configuration utilizes sample culture volume for construct size manipulation and long-term maintenance. Furthermore, our configuration enables convenient transfer of liquid or solid phases during the levitation. Before biofabrication, we first calibrated/ the platform for levitation with polymeric beads, considering the single cell density range of viable cells. By taking advantage of magnetic focusing and cellular self-assembly, millimeter-sized 3D structures were formed and maintained in the system allowing easy and on-site intervention in cell culture with an open operational space. We demonstrated that the levitation protocol could be adapted for levitation of various cell types (i.e., stem cell, adipocyte and cancer cell) representing cells of different densities by modifying the paramagnetic ion concentration that could be also reduced by manipulating the density of the medium. This technique allowed the manipulation and merging of separately formed 3D biological units, as well as the hybrid biofabrication with biopolymers. In conclusion, we believe that this platform will serve as an important tool in broad fields such as bottom-up tissue engineering, drug discovery and developmental biology.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Label-Free Detection of Rare Cancer Cells Using Deep Learning and Magnetic Levitation Principle(SPIE, 2021) Delikoyun, Kerem; Demir, Ali Aslan; Tekin, Hüseyin CumhurMagnetic levitation is an effective tool for separating target cells within a heterogeneous solution by utilizing density differences among cell lines. However, magnetic levitation cannot be used to identify target cells which have similar density profile as the other cells in the solution. Therefore, accuracy of cell identification can dramatically reduce. In this study, we introduce, for the first time, the use of deep learning-based object detection approach for label-free identification of rare cancer cells within levitated cells. As a result, our novel and hybrid detection strategy could be used to identify circulating tumor cells for diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. © 2021 SPIE.Conference Object Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Viability Analysis Directly From Cell Holograms Captured Using Lensless Holographic Microscopy(The Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society (CBMS), 2019) Delikoyun, Kerem; Çine, Ersin; Anıl İnevi, Müge; Özçivici, Engin; Özuysal, Mustafa; Tekin, Hüseyin CumhurCell viability analysis is one of the most widely used protocols in the fields of biomedical sciences. Traditional methods are prone to human error and require high-cost and bulky instrumentations. Lensless digital inline holographic microscopy (LDIHM) offers low-cost and high resolution imaging. However, recorded holograms should be digitally reconstructed to obtain real images, which requires intense computational work. We introduce a deep transfer learning-based cell viability classification method that directly processes the hologram without reconstruction. This new model is only trained once and viability of each cell can be predicted from its hologram. © 2019 CBMS-0001.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Magnetic Levitation-Based Protein Detection Using Lensless Digital Inline Holographic Microscopy(The Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society (CBMS), 2019) Yaman, Sena; Delikoyun, Kerem; Tekin, Hüseyin CumhurWe present a portable protein detection platform based on magnetic levitation principle integrated with a lensless imaging system. In the platform, polymer microspheres are used to capture selectively target proteins and magnetic nanoparticle labels. The imaging system monitors the levitation height change of polymer microspheres with respect to the presence of target protein on their surfaces. This system enables the detection of target proteins down to ng/mL levels in a short time. © 2019 CBMS-0001.Conference Object Electromechanical Lab-On Platform for Creatinine Analysis Using Automated Elisa Protocols(Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society, 2020) Karakuzu, Betül; Tarım, Ergün Alperay; Öksüz, Cemre; Tekin, Hüseyin CumhurWe present an electromechanical lab-on-a-chip (LOC) platform for the automated serum creatinine detection applying enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) principle. In the platform, antibody covered bar selectively captures the creatinine in the sample and the electromechanical system allows automatic movement between the designed reservoirs containing assay solutions. At the end of the protocol, the absorbance value of the appeared color is measured to determine creatinine concentration in the sample. Since this system allows measuring automatically creatinine levels with minimum time and cost, it can be utilized for point-of-care monitoring of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) for the future. © 2020 CBMS-0001Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 43Label-Free Density-Based Detection of Adipocytes of Bone Marrow Origin Using Magnetic Levitation(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019) Sarıgil, Öykü; Anıl İnevi, Müge; Yılmaz, Esra; Meşe, Gülistan; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur; Özçivici, EnginAdipocyte hypertrophy and hyperplasia are important parameters in describing abnormalities in adipogenesis that are concomitant to diseases such as obesity, diabetes, anorexia nervosa and osteoporosis. Therefore, technical developments in the detection of adipocytes become an important driving factor in adipogenesis research. Current techniques such as optical microscopy and flow cytometry are available in detection and examination of adipocytes, driving cell- and molecular-based research of adipogenesis. Even though microscopy techniques are common and straightforward, they are restricted in terms of manipulation and separation of the cells. Flow cytometry is an alternative, but mature adipocytes are fragile and cannot withstand the flow process. Other separation methods usually require labeling of the cells or usage of microfluidic platforms that utilize fluids with different densities. Magnetic levitation is a novel label-free technology with the principle of movement of cells towards the lower magnetic field in a paramagnetic medium depending on their individual densities. In this study, we used a magnetic levitation device for density-based single cell detection of differentiated adipogenic cells in heterogeneous populations. Results showed that the magnetic levitation platform was sensitive to changes in the lipid content of mesenchymal stem cells committed to adipogenesis and it could be successfully used to detect the adipogenic differentiation of the cells.Book Part Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 15Single Cell Densitometry and Weightlessness Culture of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Using Magnetic Levitation(Humana Press, 2020) Anıl İnevi, Müge; Yılmaz, Esra; Sarıgil, Öykü; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur; Özçivici, EnginMagnetic levitation methodology enables density-based separation of microparticles/cells and sustains cell culture in different media. Levitation process can be accomplished via negative magnetophoresis (diamagnetophoresis), where the applied magnetic force compensates gravitational acceleration and the density of the diamagnetic object (e.g., cell) determines its levitation height. Here we describe a portable, sensitive, and cost-effective technology that uses the principles of magnetic levitation to measure single cell density and cell culture under desired conditions. © 2019, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
