Conference Object Assessment of Cell Cycle and Viability of Magnetic Levitation Assembled Cellular Structures(IEEE, 2020) Anıl İnevi, Müge; Ünal, Yağmur Ceren; Yaman, Sena; Tekin, H. Cumhur; Meşe, Gülistan; Meşe, GülistanLabel-free magnetic levitation is one of the most recent Earth-based in vitro techniques that simulate the microgravity. This technique offers a great opportunity to biofabricate scaffold-free 3-dimensional (3D) structures and to study the effects of microgravity on these structures. In this study, self-assembled 3D living structures were fabricated in a paramagnetic medium by magnetic levitation technique and effects of the technique on cellular health was assessed. This magnetic force-assisted assembly system applied here offers broad applications in several fields, such as space biotechnology and bottom-up tissue engineering.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 - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 8Lensless Digital In-Line Holographic Microscopy for Space Biotechnology Applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Delikoyun, Kerem; Çine, Ersin; Anıl İnevi, Müge; Özuysal, Mustafa; Özçivici, Engin; Tekin, Hüseyin CumhurBiomechanical changes at cellular level can dramatically affect living organisms in both aviation and space applications. Weightlessness induces morphological alteration of cells, which leads to tissue loss. Therefore, scientists have been studying the effect of weightlessness using cell culture based biological experiments using conventional microscopes. However, strict requirements regarding cost, weight and functionality limit the use of conventional microscopes in space environment. Lensless digital in-line holographic microscopy enables to use low-weight, low-cost and robust elements, such as a light emitting diode (LED), an aperture and an imaging sensor, instead of bulky, expensive and fragile optical elements, such as lenses, mirrors and filters. This technology offers a high field of view compared to conventional microscopes without affecting the resolution and it is also suitable for remote sensing applications with automated imaging capabilities. Here, we present a portable digital in-line holographic microscopy platform that allows to visualize cells and to analyze their viability in a microfluidic chip. The platform offers microscopic imaging with 1.55 mu m spatial resolution, 21.7 mm(2) field of view and image coloring capability. This platform could potentially play an important role in space biotechnology applications by enabling low-cost, high-resolution and portable monitoring of cells.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Cell Separation With Hybrid Magnetic Levitation-Based Lensless Holographic Microscopy Platform(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Delikoyun, Kerem; Yaman, Sena; Anıl İnevi, Müge; Özçivici, Engin; Tekin, Hüseyin CumhurSeparation of target cells in a heterogeneous solution is of great importance for clinical studies especially for immunology and oncology. Separated cells can be used for diagnostic applications ranging from whole blood counting to isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTC) for personalized medicine. Recent separation technologies rely on labelling and identifying target cells with variety of labelling principle such as fluorescence or magnetic tags. However, they require labor-intensive processes, long analysis time, and expensive chemical reagents and instrumentation. Hence, their usage is limited to well-equipped centralized laboratories. There is a need for a rapid, sensitive, low-cost and automated cell separation technology to disseminate usage of this technology even in rural areas. Magnetic levitation is a powerful cell separation method, which distinguishes cells based on their levitation heights depending on cell density. However, magnetic levitation-based separation technologies require traditional, bulky and expensive microscopes for analysis. Lensless digital inline holographic microscopy (LDIHM) systems are composed of a simple illumination system containing an LED, a pinhole, and an imaging sensor for high-resolution microscopic imaging, which eliminates needs of highly fragile and expensive optics as in traditional microscopy. Here, we introduced a novel hybrid and portable cell separation platform, where magnetic levitation technology is integrated with LDIHM system for automated analysis of cell levitation heights. Using this platform, three different cell lines are successfully separated. Live and dead cells having distinguished levitation heights can be also identified in the platform.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Biofabrication of Cellular Structures Using Weightlessness as a Biotechnological Tool(IEEE, 2019) Anıl İnevi, Müge; Sarıgil, Öykü; Yaman, Sena; Yalçın Özuysal, Özden; Meşe, Gülistan; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur; Özçivici, EnginGravity 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.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Application of Magnetic Levitation Induced Weightlessness To Detect Cell Lineage(IEEE, 2019) Sarıgil, Öykü; Anıl İnevi, Müge; Yılmaz, Esra; Çağan, Melike; Meşe, Gülistan; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur; Özçivici, EnginIdentification and classification of bone marrow cells is an important step for molecular biology and therapeutic studies related to bone marrow disorders such as osteoporosis or obesity. In this study, we applied magnetic levitation technology to induce a weightlessness environment to detect adipocytes and osteoblasts based on their single cell density. This biotechnological method can be used for separation of heterogeneous populations such as bone marrow once adapted to a continuous microfluidic platform.
